We are one Chapter again!

First I want to say I'm so happy that we are all back together again as one group. This will be a good thing. Our city is big but we all work together so well for those in need that I'm so excited that we are one group again. I've missed seeing so many of you and I look forward to blanket days in the near future so I can see you again. We have so big plans and I'll be sharing them over the next few weeks with you. First for anyone who doesn't know or hasn't heard save the date of Sept 11th 2010! We are hosting the Midwest Mini Institute for Project Linus right here in Kansas City. What is that you ask well it's our national officers and coordinators from all over the US coming together here for a meeting and fun time. Coordinators and officers will meet on Friday and Saturday and then volunteers...that's YOU will meet with everyone on Saturday! We have Ellen Ropogle, the author of Laps From Fats will be here that day and will do a trunk show and speak to the group. I will be presenting Cutting with a Plan, this will include a plan for cutting up those pesky scraps we all have and some patterns to get you started. Of course you will hear from Carol, our PL President and Mary, our PL Vice-President and Jane. We will have many gifts and prizes for everyone who attends. We are charging $20 for the day and this will cover a catered lunch and speaker, use of the building! I know we never charge for our events but this is special deal and I promise you will come home with tons of stuff!!! Please come and show your support for PL and have a great time! I will send out forms in the near future for you to fill out and send in by August 1st...if you know you want to come now email me at jgpg2@yahoo.com and I'll send you out a form now.
We've been getting some Best Choice Labels and I'd love to have enough this year to double what we did last year so keep sending them in!!!
Also we have a waiting list of over 60 kids needing weighted blankets so if you can make one and send it please do so. Watch for a post soon of an upcoming blanket day where we will be making weighted blankets again.
Thanks everyone for all your hard work!!!
