November 2022 Newsletter
Hi Blanketeers,
Good News for our Chapter.
We now have an Assistant Coordinator to help us in our quest to supply children with security blankets. Karen Heaton has volunteered for the position; and has been approved by the National office. Many of you know her already, but here is a bit of background about her that you might enjoy reading.
Karen is from Maryland, and relocated to Sandy, Utah in 1996. She has two daughters, and her husband JD has 5. They have 10 grandchildren. She loves to sew, crochet, make fringe blankets and quilts. She has an interesting and varied career working in human services. She retired from the State of Utah, in May of 2021, after holding various positions In The Department of Resource Management.
We welcome her participation, her hand-work skills. AND - her computer skills are a great help. WELCOME Karen!
Blanket Making Days
Next meeting at OSLC November 7th 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Next meeting at MVMC November 16th - 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Mtn Vista Church Fall Boutique
The quilters of this church donate scores of handmade quilts to our PL chapter every month. They also invite you all to visit their annual fund raiser event. They will have handmade items, art, Christmas gifts, clothing, music, a variety of vendors, and there is the wonderful food. It will be great fun. Saturday, November 5th from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Holiday Season
The holidays will arrive starting in November and we must be prepared in advance to distribute to many locations. This is a busy time for all of us, but we want to be ready, in advance, with blankets for kids.
The shopping event where kids shop with officers of Unified Police Force is one event in which we participate annually. We wouldn’t want any child in any crisis situation to be without a PL security blanket during the holidays.
P L Blanketeers
Many thanks for all that you volunteers do. It may be making blankets, labeling, packaging, delivering, purchasing and donating supplies, fund raising, preparing fabric, recruiting workers, and, of course, enjoying blanket making days. I wish you all a happy
Thanksgiving.
