Reflection

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.
