[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Care To Share Then Join Us

[SHELLEY SCHUETT]

Please read this email to the bottom, because there is a lot of information
included. Caring And Sharing is an ongoing project that Crafters Corner has
started. Every last Monday of the month we will be discussing a different
charity, so that we can learn more about it and the type of donations they
take.  Last Monday night we learned more about the charity Afghans For
Angels and this Saturday we will be discussing the different types of baby
blankets to make and sharing patterns. We are hoping to give a report on the
number of items are Crafter Corner members donate to charity over the next
year at the 2022 convention. There are three ways of participating in this
project. One you can give to a charity of your choice and let us know what
items you have donated so they can be included in the charity group count.
Two you can come to the Monday night chat and make craft items for that
charity and donate to them or the charity of your choice, or you can join
the caring and sharing class and be part of their email list and Saturday
classes.

So if you're a member of Crafters Corner and like to give back write and let
me know what the craft items you have donated and how many of that item, how
many items you have bought and who you gave them to and we would also like
to know how many hours of your time you donate to working for a charity and
which one it is. We won't be keeping track of how much each person donates
just the amount of items.

Here is an example

Miscellaneous (purchased items)

5 combs

5 boxes of crayons

5 articles of gentle used clothing

To Wellness Woman's Shelter

4 hours volunteer time

At local food bank

Hand crafted items

3 hats

6 soap sacks

10 dishcloths/washcloths

All given to Operation Christmas Child

 

There are two ways to report your donations. One if your part of the caring
and sharing email list you can send your donation numbers there, or if you
don't want people to know what you're giving you can write me at
shelleyschuett at telus.net <mailto:shelleyschuett at telus.net> 

You may also send a picture of your crafted items that can be shared with
others to let them know what sorts of projects we have been working on.

 

On behalf of Crafters Corner I'd like to personally thank you for helping
make this world a better place by caring and sharing.
