Charity Opportunity with My Very Own Blanket

We have teamed up with My Very Own Blanket to help them make blankets. There are 2 different ways we are helping them...

#1 We are helping them sew coaster to help them with marketing, to get donations to help them make more blankets. You can help by coming to one of our monthly meeting and picking up coasters to sew. Then bring back the sewn coasters to the next meeting or drop them off at My Very Own Blanket during their hours.
