We had two meetings this week with 35 ladies attending. Thanks to the generous hospitality of the Town and Country Starbucks and manager, Charles Peirsol, our Magnificent Monday group had a great time.
On Tuesday, we met at MDUMC and said farewell to Verlyn Bounds and Mary Brannies as leaders this year. They will be hard to replace, but Christel Dekker, Susan Dunten, Joan Scheuer and Rima Blanc have agreed to co-lead next year. They have already met and have some great ideas for our group . Stay tuned to learn more.
Our donations this week were also magnificent. We donated Breast Cancer Hearts to Methodist and St Lukes. We also donated hearts, isolette covers, blankets, hats, bears and therapy dolls to Methodist, Memorial Hermann, Childrens’ Memorial Hermann, M.D.Anderson. Our total donations so far this year is 5010 handmade items.
We look forward to seeing you at Starbucks on Monday, April 27.
Join us for Volunteer appreciation day at Methodist Hospital on Tuesday, April 28. We will leave the church east side parking lot at 10:30am.
Finally, a huge and ongoing thank you to all of you sewing and cutting at home. We would not be able to give one of our handmade items EVERY TWO HOURS to patients in Houston hospitals without your dedication and commitment.
And an email we received:
You were kind enough to give me your card yesterday when my young daughter and I were in Starbucks. I just wanted to say that I think The Common Thread Circle is a great thing. Keep up the good work!
