Warm Up the Community
Becky Jarvi Chairman. Caps, ear warmers, mittens and scarves are knitted by our members, and distributed through various organizations to keep heads, ears, hands and hearts warm during the winter months.
Lap Robes
Marty Coblentz, Chairman. Lap robes, knitted by our members, are collected at the meetings and delivered to the Veteran’s Hospital. Materials used for these items are acrylic fibers and any colorful design. Crocheted items are welcomed also. Size should measure about 36″ x 42″ and ties may be added for wheelchair purposes. Other items that we collect to give to the veteran’s include motel soaps, shampoos, note pads, pencils, small toothpastes, nonalcoholic after shave, socks and hankies.
Baby Hats
Louise Guglielmetti, Chairman. Members knit machine washable and dryer safe baby hats for Christ Child Charity.
