August 5 - 10 AM-3 PM
We are having another great year. Will we beat last year’s record number of 1,586 blankets? Only time will tell but let’s give it a try. We had 14 Brownie Scouts at the April Linus and they sewed on labels and began knitting squares for a blanket. Bring a sandwich (and a friend); we will provide drink and dessert. Call Pat @ 301-460-5451 for more information. Knitting and crocheting is taught, so if you would like to learn a new skill, we would love to teach you. Yarn will be provided, but we are always looking for donations of yarn, fabric and money to buy the batting and labels.
Pampering
You

At our June meeting, Ameka Smith and Christopher Richardson will show
you some new ways to pamper yourself because you are worth it.
They are from the American Beauty Academy and have been providing professional
services for many years.
