It's a beginning

HELP NEEDED, Hats and Scarfs, PLEASE

I've added 2 ticker/counters here on our blog...one for HATS and one for SCARFS. I've set a goal of 100 for each and will keep track so we know where we are against the goal.

I've fixed the settings and those who attempted to join yesterday have now been able to join. YIPPEE. Anyone may help, email to join the group so I can add your email which lets you join as an author, which means you're listed as a team member. If you'ld like to help without being an "official" team member you may do that by posting a comment. Email me at sandycrochet@gmail.com for my address to mail HATS, SCARFS, GLOVES.

Sooooooo many ways to help:
Post a link to the group in your blog to help spread the word
Blog about the effort
Add link in mass emails to your knitting and crochet friends
And the obvious way is with your knitting needles and or crochet hooks.

When donations are mailed to me, I'll photograph and add so we can see all the wonderful items made by caring kind people.

***would like to add a weather, temperature thing, who knows how to do that?

Need team members, help me warm the homeless in need! PLEASE

Temperatures drop around the country, Homelessness rising, and it's official...the country's in a recession. Help me reach out to the cold, hungry, homeless in Ohio's Capital City, Columbus. Rae (a friend of sister-in-laws from church), and 2 friends visit and feed a group of homeless folks under a bridge weekly. These folks are in need of warm items. The group, all adult--mostly men need hats, scarfs, gloves, and perhaps vests and sweaters. Put your knitting needles and crochet hooks to the cause. Help me help Rae warm these folks, it could be the difference between life and death during these cold winter months in Ohio.

There are some women living here also, but mostly men; and to date we're thankful there are no children.

NEED: Hats, scarfs, gloves..in adult sizes and colors mostly appropiate for men.

This blog will be dedicated to this cause. I will keep tallies here, show pictures of items donated here.

Please join the cause, please join the team.

Items can be sent to me. Contact me at sandycrochet@gmail.com for an address. Once I figure out how to make the blog a team/private thing, I'll add my address.

If you have the ability, vests and or sweaters would also be welcomed.
