HELLO BLANKETEERS,
Business is moving right along thru the summer even though we are all taking some time off for vacation. Deliveries for end of June are at 211- You are an awesome group!
JOYFULL WELCOME
Joyce Rolf and
WenDee Maple are the owners of this charity that serves teen moms who are in
need of education in child care and newborn care. These moms are also given a layette of new
items that their babies will need when they are welcomed into this world.
Our PL chapter is
now contributing baby blankets to Joyfull Welcome. We are happy to be a part of this (all
volunteer) team as they offer support to teen moms and newborns.
Most people think
of USANA as the company whose name is over the entry of the open-air theatre in
West Valley. But, there is also a USANA
location in Tooele at Miller Motorsports Park, where the call center is
located. It is full of employees who
care about their communities as well as their customers.
These employees
support a variety of charity projects and donate time and money to those in
need. Directed by Gail Kaletta, they now
have made fleece blankets to donate to our chapter of PL for us to deliver to
children. Thanks USANA employees.
Mountain Vista United
Methodist Church
MVUMC has been
donating beautiful hand made quilts to PL for a number of years. This year the quilters reached a milestone
and celebrated achieving their goal of making 1000 quilts. Actually it was 1030!
Jean Ann Nohavec is
the coordinator of this quilt group and she has the complete support of Rev.
Olga Hard as well as office manager, Raedell Elizondo. These quilters meet every Wednesday at noon and work for several hours.
This picture shows the “blessing of the
blankets” which was a highlight of their celebration. We also celebrate their devotion to
volunteerism and to children in need of a blanket hug.
Hope to see you all on August 7th. Millie
