Have you checked out our blog yet? Jennifer Stover has been working hard to put lots of information out there. You can also follow new posts to the blog by clicking on the "Follow by email" button, typing in your email then hitting submit. You will get a confirmation email in your inbox which you will need to confirm before you start receiving emails about blog posts. This is going to be a great new tool for us to communicate with each other about projects, events, sales, and anything else going on in the yarn world! Check it out soon!

Current Projects:

• Chemo caps and scarves for both adults and children - donated to Texas Oncology McKinney, McKinney Regional Cancer Center, UT Southwestern in Dallas and MCCH oncology unit.
• Blankets for MCCH - either a child-sized blanket or 12 x 12 squares to combine into a blanket for them.
• Finch knitting/crochet club - I have had 2 or 3 of you volunteer to help with teaching and Becca Masters has volunteered to be the coordinator! (Yea - thank you Becca!!) Look for details soon about when we will start the club. Also, we could use several more teachers. If you are thinking about teaching, please fill out a volunteer application.
• Mission trip to Nepal: In October, Susan Horn will be traveling to Nepal on a mission trip with Dare to Care. She could help accumulating the following items for her trip:
• Packets of Chile con Carne
• Italian Salad Dressing mixes
• 1 jar of Cream of Tartar
• Birthday candles
• Individual packs of candy for the Orphans and host families

God bless each of you and have great week!
