September Newsletter 2023

 Hello Blanketeers,

     Another Autumn season is upon us.  Soon the leaves will be turning beautiful colors, we will need to wear a sweater, and some kids will need a warm security blanket!

 

     Many of our blanket makers were on vacations during July and August – and the number of hand-made blankets declined.  We are low on inventory and anticipating your contributions this month.  Looking forward to your participation.

 

     Next blanket making day is scheduled for Monday the 11th - at 10:00 am - at OSLC – 25th East 39th South in Millcreek.  We have fleece for you to work on.  

     Remember the next blanket day for our Riverton Group will be September 20th at 1:00 pm – at MVMC – 30th West 90th So.

Will have fleece there also for you to work on.  

                                 

                           Summer Camps

     Kids Camps are all over for the summer.  We are so happy that we have been able to gift the children at camps with quilts and fleece blankets.  You made them all by hand.  This is the first summer that we have added a new summer camp for the children of deployed soldiers. 

     These kids had a great time.  We have blurred the faces to offer privacy – but – trust me - those faces were all smiling.  


Let's Keep Our Chapter Active.  GIVING TO KIDS IN NEED IS OUR GOAL!
