Have sent some letters...hope to hear something! I was looking at Wal-Mart and you can contact your local stores for donations, but I was looking more in detail on their website at the state giving and national giving grants. I think we definitely fall in the health/wellness area. Has anybody on the grant committee submitted anything to them? Here is the national giving link, http://walmartstores.com/CommunityGiving/8781.aspx and here is the state link, http://walmartstores.com/CommunityGiving/8168.aspx I know the state giving, the funds are to be spent within the state. I definitely think on the national level, somebody on the grant committee should submit a letter of inquiry and see what happens.

I submitted to our local Wal-Mart, waiting to hear back.
Our grant committee is non-functional... the grant committee is well, me. :) And I have always been so busy with everything else that grant applications have fallen to to the side. We REALLY need volunteers on this committee.... there is so much more we could be doing! If anyone wants to volunteer, please let me or Barb know!!!
We have the totebags printing (thank you Nicolle!!!!), a bunch of binders (thank you Karla!!!!) and the bracelets arrived yesterday!
I'm finishing off the baby books and printing them today. I'm going to try to post photos of each quilt so we can label who donated them before they go in the bags.
I am going to try to get to Claire's today for cameras.
Barb found some on ebay too I think? Barb?
I know a bunch of you have boxes headed our way. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Every time a new cherub is born I hate that we can't send them a bag yet - but SOON we will!!!! By next week or the week after we should hopefully have enough to send out the first 50 bags! :)
-
I am sending a box of goodies tonight, by UPS, for the tote bags!

I am asking members who come to my state get together (PA, NJ, DE picnic in April) to bring an item for the tote bag project if they are able. Hopefully, we will get lots of donations!
-
A PA member sent me 30 disposable cameras! I'll be sending them with the other stuff from the picnic next week sometime!
-
The stuff from the picnic was mailed yesterday! I will send a note with what was donated and in honor of whom. Very excited that we were able to collect items!
-
I got the boxes today, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU everyone who donated items!!!!!! These will help fill a lot of totebags!! :)
Karla, did you send a note in the box? Can't find one. Or e-mail? Or am I totally confused as usual? :)
