WEBSITE CHANGES - PLEASE READ

As you are all aware of by now, Linus has been experiencing technical difficulties with our website and email address for the last couple of months. In order to correct this, and due to circumstances beyond our control, The Linus Connection now has a new web address:

Executive Director Stephanie Sabatini can now be reached via stephanie@thelinusconnection.org.
Please save this information. ALL Linus web information will now be at this address. You may find some broken links or photos that do not load while we transition. If there is something you need that you are not finding, please email Jennifer.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Camp Quilts
It's that time again! We began our annual collection of Camp Quilts at our March meeting and will continuing to collect camp quilts in addition to our normal monthly blanket collection. Please remember that the camp facilities can only accept quilts. Yarn and fleece blankets like leaves and twigs a bit too much for distribution at camp. We will continue to collect quilts, yarn and fleece blankets for distribution to our recipient other facilities. Camp quilts need to be made in larger sizes for school-aged children, ages 7 - 17. Thank you to everyone that donates every month and for helping to make camp quilt donations possible!

If you are a quilter or know any quilters, please save your Hobbs batting bags or UPC labels and either bring them to the monthly meeting or mail them to us at The Linus Connection, P.O. Box 29491, Austin, Texas 78755. Please also ask any quilting friends you know to do this as well. We really depend on this batting to fulfill our deliveries each month.
