The Project Linus Chapter of Wake County, NC was started in 1996 by Susie Holmes. Over 50,000 blankets have been delivered to many local groups and agencies that help seriously ill or traumatized children who need a HUG from a blanket including: Wake Med Hospitals, Rex Hospital, Duke Hospital NICU, Safe Space (for children of abused women receiving support), Hospice (for their Reflections program for grieving children and teens), Make a Wish Foundation, the children at Salvation Army, Children's Flight of Hope, and Wake County Social Services.

Save the Dates!

Happy New Year Blanketeers!  Mark your calendar for two events that are coming up next month:

Saturday, February 26th, 2011
will be our annual
Make A Blanket Day
Venture Hall - IMAX Theater Building near Marbles Kids Museum
201 East Hargett Street - downtown Raleigh
More details will be coming soon!

And on the Sunday before Make A Blanket Day:
 
February 20th, 2011
Project Linus Fleece Tie Blanket Day
Marbles Kids Museum
1pm to 4pm
 * Volunteers are needed for this event *
You will be representing our Project Linus Chapter and teaching Marbles Kids Museum guests about making blankets and anything else about PL they want to know.
Fleece, handouts, etc will be provided.  Some preparation is needed before the event.

This is a fabulous opportunity for us to spread the word about PL and give back to Marbles for being generous for 3 years to donate wonderful space for our Make A Blanket Days.

Want to help?
