The year is fast approaching an end. A while back I posted information regarding how we began, who donated, and what we collected in a very short period of time. It was fun to look back. You can read about HERE.
Taking that a bit further, the calendar year 2009 was wonderful. We grew in members who donated, we grew in the number of people we were able to help. We grew in the number of places we were linked, listed, and known.....all translate into being more visible on the net. Being more visible on the net and word of mouth causes others to find us and join the cause. I'm very grateful for that.
In 2009, we collected 335 hats, 66 pairs of mittens, 70 pairs of socks, and 123 scarves. Isn't that wonderful. Think of the warm, the encouragement and the hope all those donations represented.
Many thanks to all who donated that year: (in no particular order)

ReplyDeleteThank you Marie Anne. Look forward to seeing the numbers grow with your help.
ReplyDeleteNiki, off the top of my head believe you contributed in 2010 and this is the 2009 list. But, I'll go back and recheck my lists. Certainly no intent to leave anyone out. Hope to see often.
I'm definitely in good company. Nice to see friends, old and new, all with the same goal in mind.
ReplyDeleteYes Sandie, being with like minded people is fabulous. And together what they can and do accomplish is awesome.
