Thanks from the D.C. Ronald MacDonald House

We received this thank-you letter from the Washington D.C. Ronald MacDonald house. Please let Amy or Dena know if you'd like receive a copy of the scanned PDF via email.

WRAPping up for 2010

Congratulations! The WRAP project was a great success! We donated approximately 35 afghans, throws, and quilts with books to the Ronald McDonald House in Washington, DC during the 2010 MLA meeting. The completed projects were beautiful. And we received a lot of compliments from our HLS colleagues during the HLS reception, when some of the projects were on display, along with a poster board created by Amy.

Dena and Amy want to thank each and every participant for their commitment to this compassionate community service project. We will continue to update the blog with pictures!
We are already planning for Minneapolis 2011. If you are interested in participating, please contact us. You can read some of our early blog entries for some guidelines, pattern suggestions, etc.

A "new" idea for 2011 is adding knitted or crocheted stuffed animals, if you'd like to make one instead of a "blanket." And, if you're not a crafty librarian, you can partner with someone who is and donate the book to accompany the finished item.
Again, many thanks to our helping hands! A full list of participants and some pictures will be in July's National Network.
Best,
Amy and Dena
