October Newsletter 2023

 Hello Blanketeers,

                ANSWERING THE CALL

      Our thanks and appreciation to all of you for your excellent response to our need for more blankets last month. We are trying to add more to our distribution – to include Riverton Hospital as well as Children’s Justice Center in Riverton.  

     Our Riverton group, under Jackie Cohen’s direction, organized an additional blanket making day at Mountain Vista Church.  The plan was to create as many fringe fleece blankets as possible to make in one afternoon.  They were assisted by the quilters of MVMC and together gave our project a huge boost.  

      In addition to the fringed fleece created, the MVMC quilters donated a large number of quilts.  All of this made it a successful month.        

See you at the MVMC Boutique:


                   Blanket Days      

 Our next blanket day at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church – November 6th, 2500 East 3900 South 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.  Fabric will be provided for you to work on, thanks to Walmart Stores for their grant to our chapter.  

            Christmas is Coming 

Mark your calendars for our annual Christmas luncheon on our blanket making day December 4th.  We will have food and fun planned.  

        Smith’s Inspiring Donations. 

     At this time we have only five families who have attached their rewards card numbers to benefit Project Linus.  If you are not attached to another charity – lets sign you up.  It costs you nothing and will benefit our chapter.  We can show you how to attach when we meet on the 6th.  


      You are an important part of our Project Linus Chapter as we work hard to provide security blanket hugs to kids in need.


     Thanks, Millie and Karen
