"Good Works Ministry's June 20, 2016 Meeting Update"
Another cozy group of three members was in attendance at the June 20th session of the LFBC’s Good Works Ministry.
Inspiration was was once again piled high on the coffee table in the form of sample projects and reference books. These items included two super-frilly lace scarves and a lapghan by M.E.W.
The two scarves will be donated to “Team LFBC” for fund-raising to
benefit the 2017 American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life" to be held next spring. Contact M.E.W. if you'd like to try your hand at making one of these scarves ... donated yarn for the project is available.
The lapghan will be delivered to a veterans' home in support of the Ladies Auxiliary Military Order of the Purple Heart (LAMORPH), Operation "We've Got You Covered." The program provides support and comfort to hospitalized and wounded veterans by donating handmade lapghans (lap covers), head covers (hats and caps), pillows and other items.
Our resident photographer, M.G., was unable to attend the meeting ... soooo, no photos of the projects to share.
M.E.W. delivered yarn donated by the Whitesboro Dunham Public Library
"Needle Crafters" to the group. Some of the goods were divied up with M.G. receiving a collection of baby yarn odds 'n ends sure to be useful in the "Newborn Hats for Care Net" challenge. L.B. was able to find enough yellow/gold/white ombre yarn to create a lapghan ... perhaps for the "Veterans' Lapghan" challenge. M.E.W. selected some yarn to use to make mittens when she finally masters knitting mittens! Since J.P. was still using yarn from the last batch of donated goods, she opted to pass on this collection.
There is a very nice selection of cranberry and sand yarn that would work up into a nice lapghan. Let M.E.W. mewaters315@gmail.com know if you would like to create a lapghan for the "Veterans' Lapghan" challenge using this yarn.
Reminder: The LFBG's GWM's "yarn stash" can be found in Pastor Dave's office until we find a new home for it. Feel free to take whatever yarn you feel could be used in a project.
FYI -- The group has collectively made 46 items so far this year!
A summary of the current challenges and project status is available from M.E.W. ... it's yours for the asking ... mewaters315@gmail.com
We're hoping each member of the GWM will propose a new challenge, offer to be a team leader for a given challenge and/or join the team for a specific challenge. Let M.E.W. know if you would like to lead, join, or suggest a challenge ... mewaters315@gmail.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The date of our next session is TBD since the first Monday in July falls on the 4th.
