Joan Holland of our great community is leading a wonderful project...
PROJECT LINUS!!
OVER 2000(AS OF SEPTEMBER 2011)
"quilted" in Heather Lakes!
One went to the child of a Conway soldier killed in Iraq.
Newest are specially weighted for kids with Cerebral Palsy!
The Heather Lakes "knitters" average 45-50 blankets per meeting!!
Project Linus is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization with a two-fold mission. To provide love,security, warmth and comfort to seriously ill children. Second, to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for members of a community.
Joan has done both for Heather Lakes by organizing new sewers, crocheters and knitters (~15 in all), collecting yarn and cotton fabric and producing hundreds blankets through this year!!
