Call for Help

From Londa -
Londa has asked me to send out the following request for young girls and women in local shelters and to the rape crisis center. The Grassroot Givers Group is organizing Girls Kits that have nail polish, lip gloss, nail cippers, emery boards, etc. These item fit nicely in a 1/2 gallon milk carton.........not plastic.

Brownie troops are collecting all of the items and they will also "decorate" the milk cartons to make the package look beautiful.

Fabric is needed for the milk cartons and this is where we step in. Any fabric that would be pretty for women and young firls ages 8 - 18 is appropriate.

The fabric dimensions should be 6 inches (height of the carton) x 17 inches (circumference of the carton) to wrap around the container. They are trying to collect 150 milk cartons. Please save what milk / juice cartons you can and also fabric and drop off at Log Cabin.

Why bother to make the containers you may ask. Reason is that Grassroot Givers donates approximately 500 to 600 kits to local shelter. So even if they purchased dollar store containers, it is better to use the $500 towards basic necessities such as deodorant, shampoo, laundry detergent, for example.

I don't know about you but it amazed me that the demand is so great.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give the group.

Service Day

We had a very successful service day Sunday November 7th. Londa, Phyllis, Monica, Sue, Ruth, Kellieann, Barb, Pat and Bonnie were able to finish up 20 preemie quilts. We had a great time chatting and of course we enjoyed a lunch catered by Lisa's favorite eatery!
