Project Linus - our chapter delivers an average of 100-150 quilts a month to JPS and another of the same to CHildrens Cooke's Hospital. We get donations fo finished quilts from church groups, schools, etc. Judy is very active in getting out chapter news out. WE have over 25 volunteers in our chapter and more joining. Each chapter is a different size and does things differently. The hospital lets us come in once a year to get more volunteers and even the nurses willcome down and sew on their breaks. It's a fun day but glad to get home after. So much going on at once. Pull up Projectlinus.org and click on your state and find a chapter close to you. It will be interesting to see how they do their quilts, etc. WE all have the same guidelines. We are able to do so much because Judy is always getting donations of fabrics, gift cards,e tc. And we do raffles of quilts to replenish our chapter funds for buying things we need. Sorry to go on and on....it is a good thing we do.
