Camille Segretto Service Project: This
time of year we become inundated with appeals from worthy, and not-so-worthy!,
causes. So much so that we tend to ignore nearly all of them. But this is one
appeal I hope you'll answer. We are in need of more scarves, shawls, and/ or
cowls for our chemo scarf collection. Our collection stands at 35 scarves and 2
hats at this time. We would love to have many more to give. With the weather
turning cold and nippy we like to deliver the items to the UNM Cancer Center in
early December, after the Holiday Party. Please consider weaving, knitting, or
crocheting an item to help a chemo patient through a trying time. There are only
two guidelines for the scarves/shawls/cowls: 1.) must be a soft, non-scratchy,
no-itch fiber and 2.) prefer machine washable. No other limitations, so feel
free to experiment! Free knitting and crochet patterns abound on the internet.
One very good resource is www.ravelry.com. The scarves may be left at the
Village Wools library or given to Sally Rogers. Thank you. |
