Generous Crocheted Donation Helps Ohio's Homeless

 Thank you Gail B, long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond for this thoughtful and generous donation.  Gail has included some nice hand cream.  Something needed all year long.  Think how chapped your hands get both winter and summer...while you're inside.  Think how it must be for those exposed to the elements outside, and or those with limited indoor time.

 LOVE LOVE, these nice dark colors for scarves, as they work well for both men and women.  They don't show the dirt which truly matters, as so many even if they are in a housing situation often have very limited launder facilities.  These scarves are nicely sized also for either adult men or women.

AND....such a fun afghan.  Bright lime green and navy...giant granny square style.  The colors are prettier than they show here in the picture.  It was a dark day when I took the photograph and while I did edit a bit on the computer, it's still not quite the real color...but closer.

Many thanks Gail and please keep up the good work.  By the way folks Gail has some exciting news.  Grandchild #4 is on the way....that's always exciting.  Congrats to the whole family Gail.
