Challenge kits and rules were handed out at our June meeting. If you missed it, don't worry, you can still pick up your Challenge pack in July! Question? Email Osie.

The Annual Blanket Challenge is part of our Birthday Celebration held every October. It's a great opportunity for our volunteers to try something new and showcase their talents to visitors and recipient facilities. This year's event will be Saturday, October 21. Camp Quilts

We've wrapped up Camp Quilts for the year and want to thank each and every volunteer who went above and beyond to help us reach our goal over. Now that camp collection has concluded, we'll start saving up for Back to School in August and various Holiday events in December. Keep those blankets coming and as always, THANK YOU for all of your hard work!

♥ ♥ ♥ Everything you need to know about making blankets to donate to The Linus Connection! Please remember: Paper Tags should include your first name at the top.
ALL blankets should include a paper tag and a sew on label (see diagram above). More about Weighted Blankets.
