Blanket Count for Taxes
The 2013 blanket count for each donor will be available at the February meeting. Make sure to ask for a signed receipt before completing your income tax. If you need your final count before that time, please email Jennifer.
Please note that The Linus Connection can only provide you with your actual blanket count for 2013, we cannot put a value on your donation.

Bring your sewing machine and supplies, crochet or knitting! We will have quilt kits, cutting stations and plenty of room to work! Keith will be on hand to help with crochet.
Camp Quilts
It's almost time for camp blankets! We will begin our annual collection of Camp Quilts at our March 2014 meeting. Please remember that the camp facilities can only accept quilts because yarn and fleece blankets like leaves and twigs a bit too much! During Camp Quilt collection, we will continue to provide quilts, yarn and fleece blankets for distribution to our usual recipient other facilities. Camp quilts need are 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!
