Busy, Busy, Happy
Since our new year began on June 1, Common Thread has been busy, busy, busy. We are donating more than 1,000 fabricworks each month and our group continues to grow in numbers and in affection. Simply put, we have a good time with each other. At the same time, we are making useful and attractive fabricworks which tell patients in Houston area hospitals that we care about them. I love win-win situations.
We do need some help in one area. Is there anyone out there who is interested in going to groups to speak about Common Thread? Anyone who personally knows doctors who might support us? Or organizations who make grants to non-profits? Are you interested in developing these connections? It would be very helpful to have a fund-raising group actively working on keeping us funded. A happy group is one with plenty of material and yarn!
