[MR] Project Linus collectrion at Feast of St Hermingild

[melissa looper]

Greetings!     
I would like to appeal to the generous nature of you all. If you have a small child, you know what the gift of a blankie means to them. And if that small child is in the hospital or has been through a terrible ordeal, the gift means even more. 

Project Linus is a 100% volunteer non-profit organization with a two-fold mission:
First, it is their mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."
Second, it is their mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.

In conjunction with Project Linus, I would like to  announce a collection center for handmade blankies at Feast of St. Hemingild. I will be accepting any and all handmade blankies for donation to this wonderful project. This is a very easy way to provide comfort to a child who desperately needs it. 

The website for project Linus is here: http://www.projectlinus.org/index.shtml and their guidelines for blankies and pattern are here: http://www.projectlinus.org/links.shtml#Patterns

Please consider using some of your soft scrap fabric and making a blankie for this project. 

Thank you,
Baroness Brig ingen Erennaigh
