Today I delivered more of our neighborhood's donations. While I was visiting with Linda, I learned that she needs to deliver one hundred welcome kits this week. Right now, there is a shortage of white and purple body towels. One of the volunteers this afternoon mentioned that she was in Wal-Mart yesterday and noticed a two pack of white towels for $3. That seems like a real deal.
Thanks to everyone for their generosity and donations. It feels good to follow the Savior and serve. We have a lot of great opportunities coming up in the next month or two to help with the Heart to Heart Project. Mark May 10th on your calendar at 6:30 for your whole family to help and work together.

Hope to see you there!

Crochet Class Confirmation
Tomorrow Tuesday, March 22 at 10am, please come to Heidi's house for a crochet class.
Your other opportunity for a crochet class is Tuesday, March 29 at 7pm at Heidi's house.
For both classes, you will need to bring an "H" hook and 8-9 ounces of yarn you'd like to work with. Kris will be teaching the skills required to make the hats and scarves for the Heart to Heart project.
Pass the word on. We hope to have a crowd! For either class time, you are welcome to bring other Heart to Heart project work if you are not interested in the crochet.
See you soon!

Delivery and Crochet Class
I made a delivery to Linda this afternoon. Notice the tally of donations on this blog; the support our neighborhood is giving is AMAZING. Thank you to everyone for their donations. This week, we had a friend of a friend donate her entire porcelain doll collection to the Heart to Heart project. We appreciate everyone's generosity.
I hope you had a chance to watch the news segment last night; hopefully, more people will be inspired to help. This week alone, there was a need for over 75 kits. Right now, there is a shortage of ribbon (curling, fabric, anything Linda can use to wrap up the welcome kits), activity books for teens (crosswords, word searches, sudoku, etc.), and black felt hearts(for teenage boys).
On Tuesday, March 22nd at 10am, there will be a crochet class at Heidi's house. If you'd like to learn to crochet, please bring an "H" hook and 8-9 ounces of yarn that you'd like to work with. Kris will be teaching. If you don't want to learn to crochet, come work on your Heart to Heart project and enjoy the company of others.
Tentatively, we have an evening crochet class set for March 29th. Details to follow.

A Great Idea
Recently, Kari was in charge of a FHE for her extended family. She informed everyone of the Heart to Heart Project and let everyone contribute that had "a will and a way". When they got together, they worked on blankets, hearts, and hair flowers as a group. Books were donated. One fine dentist gave toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss.
I like the idea of an extended family working and having fun together as they bless the lives of women and children. The catch is, they also blessed their own family from the smallest to the most mature. Love it! Nicely done.

We Are Rockin' and Rollin' Now!
With the donations that have been delivered by all of you to me over the last two weeks, I was able to FILL the back of my Suburban yesterday. Soon, I will post a running total of all items donated by our neighborhood so you can see our progress throughout the year. Linda was very excited and thrilled and grateful to see how generous our neighborhood is with the Heart to Heart Project. Thank you so much for catching the spirit of this project and making it a focus in your lives.
For the record, Linda has already put together 369 welcome kits in 2011 and delivered them to women and children in need.
Right now, there is a special need for make-up (especially basics like mascara) and activity books for older kids/teens. If anybody sees any great deals, let me know, and I'll put the word out.
On Wednesday, March 16th, Channel 2 will be featuring Linda and her project in their "Pay It Forward" segment. Please set your DVRs so you can enjoy the coverage.

Crochet Classes
So, I am trying to organize some crochet classes and wonder what will work best.
If you are willing to help teach, will you please let me know?
If you would like to learn, will you please let me know?
Also, it would be very helpful to know if you're available during the day or in the evening for both "teachers" and "learners".
I hope to have these classes ready by the week after next. A supply list will be forthcoming. We will be learning how to crochet hats and scarves...at least to start.
Have a marvelous day.
