The year is coming to an end, it's cold, snowy, gray, damp and cold and in about 12 hours we'll toast The New Year, 2010.I wanted to pass along a little note from Rae to you all. Rae said the 2 clinics have been thrilled with our donations...and, well here let me pass along that part of her note directly to you.***
We had a Christmas party at each clinic, and I believe the phrase heard the most when people were told that they could choose hats & scarves & mittens for them and their kids/spouses at home was "really, for me?" They were astounded when they found out that total strangers from around the country had hand-made these items just for them. I believe it went a long way in making them feel somehow special, if only for a moment. But I can assure you, they will remember that moment for a while, each time they go out into the cold (or don't get to come in out of the cold) and they have a scarf or a hat or some mittens that one of you has made. I can't tell you how totally awesome I think you all are ... reaching out to people you don't even know. It's truly very sweet!
I'm sure for some those hats, mittens, or scarves were all they got this Christmas and what you do DOES make a difference, one hat, one scarf, one person, and one stitch at a time.
Please keep up the good work with your needles and hooks, TOGETHER WE CAN and DO MAKE a DIFFERENCE
Peace and Happiness to you all
Sandy
