Historic Yates Mill Park Blanketeers

A hearty thanks to these "blanketeers" who came to the park to help make no-sew fleece blankets for those in need, as part of our Spirit of Giving program. A total of 16 blankets were cut and assembled, and all will be donated to #ProjectLinus (http://projectlinus.org/   http://projectlinusraleigh.blogspot.com/  at one of the nearby drop off centers. We encourage you to get involved in this same activity at home!

Project Linus has a two-part mission:
First, to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer #blanketeers.
And second, to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.

Thank you, N & O and Betsy Greer for highlighting our wonderful chapter. 

It's a team effort, and we couldn't do it without every one of you blanketmakers!
