Team Work Helps Ohio's Homeless

I LOVE this donation!  It's particularly special to me because it's team work at it's finest.  These scarves are the work of a group of young women, Girl Scouts!!  A local Girl Scout Troup learned to knit and used their loving time to make this donation.  Lots of different designs, colors, and sizes of scarves; as well as a neckwarmer/gator/cowl.  I was contacted by their leader, Melissa P.  I really enjoy seeing young people, who often get a bad wrap about being selfish or uncaring, putting their time to such good use.  What a truly wonderful project.  They all learned to knit and to give to those who's needs are greater than their own.  I really do think this is very special.

Thank you Emma P, Maggie P, Jillian G, Ella S, and Bianca C.  The girls rang in age from 14 to 17.  Nice work ladies, you should feel very proud of yourself, I know I am.

Please keep up the good work ladies, and best of luck with whatever your next Scout Project is.

**We started the year with the number of items we had donated last year, 2016; and will subtract our donations from that.  Using the end number for 2016 as the goal for the each item.  So, as the year continues you will see numbers decrease.  Our goal is to meet and surpass the number of items donated last year.**

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
