Gone Public
Because so many of the invitees to this blog have had "issues" with getting in, I've decided to make this a public blog. In the interest of privacy I've removed all last names. I honestly don't think we'll have a problem with any unwanted activity though.

Tag! You're It!
I finally managed to sort, organize and wash all of our "inventory." We have the equivalent of three bins of baby items, most of it suitable for preemies. We also have a bin of items which would be great for the children's shelter. What we need to do is TAG it all. I have printed out tags (I think I have 250 ready to go) and will bring them on the 28th to Sandy's. With our many hands it won't take long to get everything tagged, I'm sure.
If you have any scrap yarn (preferably smooth, not novelty yarn), and you have time, please cut it into 10" lengths and bring it with you on the 28th. I will bring a hole punch - if anyone else has one, please bring it - can't hurt to have more than one.
See you next week - Tag, You're It!

Meeting Notes Feb 7th
A very delayed posting, with my apologies. Between being sick for two weeks and Nick wrecking the car....well, blogging hasn't been a priority!
GREAT JOB!! Many (adult) hats were turned in on the 7th, and lap blankets have been started too - this is wonderful! It was decided that we would donate these items to two VA facilities - one in San Jose and one in Palo Alto. Kate has been in touch with both places - thanks Kate!
We collected $9 in overhead monies and the sidebar has been updated.
We cleared up a "little" misunderstanding about delegation of projects. Sweet Sandy, bless her heart, thought that she was responsible for making all the lap blankets (someone mentioned 50 at one point? Can't remember.) I felt SO bad that she had been so stressed about this, but as God works it out, we ended up having some really good laugh therapy over the whole thing - alot of which was centered around my new reputation as a stern taskmaster - ha! (please don't ask my kids to chime in on this one). The evening was another reminder for me that we are not just ministering to those we bless with our handmade goods, but to each other.
In attendance (if I remember correctly!) Debbie, Linda, Sandy, Joan, Carol, Kate, Connie, Jeannette, Pam.
