August Newsletter 2019

Hi Blanketeers,

Next Blanket making days:

                        August 12^th at OSLC - 10:00am to 2:00pm

                        August 23^rd at Riverton Senior Center 9:30am - noon

                       

All of you loyal blanketeers have spent an enormous amount of money over the years in order to make security blankets for children.  We have been thinking of ideas and ways to ease this burden.  This newsletter is about raising money to buy materials, fabric and supplies for us to work into blankets.

            Fund Raising:

               “We don’t have to be wealthy to give,

               We just have to be willing……”

                                                            Linda Simmons

Personal Contacts:         

Patsy and I have prepared a formal letter of introduction and a packet of information that you can use to contact anyone you think might be in a key position to donate to PL.   If you feel you have a possible personal contact, let us know and we will get you the formal letter and brochure to give them

Create An Event:

     My great-grandsons and I did a fun little fund-raising event last month.  Here is a picture of our project.  It only earned $51.00 – but the boys were proud of themselves.  All the golfers that bought golf balls thanked them for volunteering to help other children. 

We only have 5 families who have attached their Smith’s loyalty rewards card to our PL.  If you are not already attached to some other charity – lets sign you up.  It costs you nothing and it does bring in a little money every quarter.  We will show you how to do it on blanket day. 

Thanks from a parent – Jerry S 

 “Just wanted to say thank you for the baby blanket we received at St. Mark’s NICU.  It is a very lovely blanket that we will keep forever.” 

Thanks for all you do.  Hope your summer is a fun one. 

Hugs,

Millie and Patsy
