Some very kind person (I never found out who) nominated our
P.L. Chapter to be considered by “Pay It Forward” to receive a donation!
The team from
Channel 2, and representative from Mountain America Bank showed up at our
January blanket-making day to interview us, and film blanket making. They presented our chapter with $500.00 to be
used in the purchase of supplies, fabric, yarn, or whatever we need. The presentation was shown on the January 4
evening news broadcast.
KIWANIS CLUB
West Valley Club,
whose president is Richard Brown, has supported our chapter in the past. They also made a generous donation this past
month. Thanks Kiwanis people.
Claudia Howard, of West Valley, has donated two large plastic bags full of yarn - every color and weight. Please contact me if you are crocheting for PL and need yarn. You can come over to my house and pick out what you like or I can bring you colors you ask for.
PROJECT
LINUS NATIONAL
We do not act alone
in our quest to send blanket-love to children.
Our National organization is the vehicle that puts us in the volunteer
business.
To maintain chapter status all PL chapters are
required to raise at least $500.00 every calendar year, which is sent to PL
headquarters. From that donation, 20% is
used for operational expense at that level and 80% our chapter uses. It is really a comfort to have our finances in
order before the end of January.
OUR NEW ASSISTANT COORDINATOR
I have been fortunate to enlist the help of an official Chapter
Assistant Coordinator. Patsy Bueno who has been with our P L project
for two years, has agreed to accept this role.
Her experience in school administration and her organizational abilities
will be a great value to our chapter.
This is a big time commitment for her, as the job requires
being available at any time; responding to phone and email inquiries; willingness
to organize and handle blanket-making events in our county; and responsibility
for quality control inspection of everything we deliver.
I wish to welcome Patsy to this role. I sure hope she will still have time to
crochet and make the blankets she loves to create.
BLANKETEERS ARE TEAM WORKERS
All the parts of getting beautiful blankets into the hands
of children in crisis are shared by all of us.
You shop, raise funds, sew (and no-sew) crochet, knit, rescue and
remake, label, package, distribute and deliver. Thank You
