Only 2 Months To Go!

We are doing well toward meeting our goal, but only two months to go so we need to step up production a little.   We have had some very generous people help us with donations of completed items, yarn, and supplies. 

Special Thanks to:
*Walmart for donating a $25 worth of gift bags and tissue paper to package the gifts
*Judy Babich of Sugar Grove for donating a bag of buttons to use on the wheelchair and walker bags.
*Mr. Scharm at West Aurora High School for spreading the word to faculty and staff.
*Principal Forbes at Holy Angels School for spreading the word to faculty and staff.
*Sharon Nauert of Somonauk donated $25 to purchase gift bags and wrapping products.

*Mary Ellen Dapus of Sugar Grove donated this yarn.  The acrylic will be used to make wheelchair bags and the Homespun yarn was used to make the red, white, and blue shawl below.

*Yvonne Schreck of New Mexico sent a huge box of yarn.  We will be able to make many bags or aghan squares from the worsted weight acrylic she sent.  Plus, there is enough Homespun for at least 6 more shawls and caplets.  A very generous donation!

Good news for the club also!  Cyndy went in front of the board at Waubonsee Community College.  Since membership has increased and the club is meeting regularly, we now qualify to be an official club at the college.  The board will review the request and if all goes well, the club will be official at the college by next month.

Moving Right Along

We are moving right along toward our goal. 

We want to thank all of your who are spreading the word in person, through Ravelry, and through your personal blogs!

A special thank you to Keith Berger and his daughter who made a generous contribution to purchase supplies. 

I know that we have at least a dozen items finished that have not yet been delivered for photographing, but I wanted to add in those that I have that are completed at this point.
