I don't see any activity for the month of July here but June seemed
busy with the ladies knitting hats for charity. *I knit hats for the
homeless men in SouthWest Pa. mostly. *And a few of us are knitting
hats and scarves for our soldiers right now. *I have never donated
anything personally but forwarded it to the person in charge of the
project *and never thought much about a personal 'thank you' from the
person receiving it. *A photo with the big smiles and 'thank you'
letters from the head cordinator make it all worth while.

But I did have one bad experience with a person which left me foaming
at the mouth. *I don't know if the scarves were ever given out because
she was to busy to open the box and it took me 3 e-mails *to get a
reply from her saying the box even arrived. *I learned from that
experience that charities listed on yarn sites such as Lion Brand and
Bev's aren't always what they seem. *Still I won't let a few bad
apples prevent me from doing what I enjoy.

Hallo , it is so good to see a Real Message here , and not one of
those ,,,,,, selling ads
I have learned that it is better to read/ask around a bit about the
Group who organizes a charity, i intend to donate to ,
Of course we hope and wish all charities would be ok, but the odd one
out is annoying, and a waste of all good will.
I admire your ability and willingness to knit for donating.
