128 baby hats
16 adult hats
46 baby blankets
19 pairs of booties
10 large baby blankets
5 afghans
6 scarves
2 baby sweaters
These are going to Good Sam, Los Gatos Community, Valley Med, and the VA's in Palo Alto and San Jose. And just so you remember Who is in charge....last night Steve B. picked up 16 adult hats and 2 blankets to bring to InnVision tonight. Last week he ran out of hats to give out, disappointing many in need of a little warmth. He was so very excited to get more hats - this was truly God's timing!
Thank you to Linda, Debie, Joan, Connie, Sandy and Torey! Janet and Trisha stopped by for a bit (good to see you!). And we missed our other regulars - Carol, Bobbie, Pam and Kate...:-)
More money in the piggy bank: we collected $26 tonight!
News from Sara regarding the Navy Seabees we blessed with a few scarves for Christmas: her husband's unit is due home in April (woohoo!). They are planning a welcome home celebration and have invited us! What an honor it will be to meet these brave souls. I will keep you posted as I get more information. I have also been talking to Sara about our group adopting another unit to bless for next Fall. We can be making things for them starting now and get a nice bundle together in time to ship overseas for Christmas. Keep you posted on that too.
We had some yarn donated while we were at Sandy's last night (thank you, Deed!) It is a whole box of various novelty yarn. We thought to make more scarves for Women's Ministries to sell, so I emailed Deborah about it. She indicated that they still had some left and that she would prefer that we find another use for the yarn. So let's put our heads together and see what else we can make with the yarn. One thought - the Whisper yarn is so incredibly soft and would be perfect for chemo caps.
I think that covers the meeting. My apologies to everyone since no one was able to actually knit last night, but we were so productive and that feels really good. Great job everyone!
