| WARM UP AMERICA |
| I am the coordinator of Warm Up America here in Grand Rapids. We are knitting and crocheting afghans for the children in foster care at D.A. Blodgett for Children. We have completed over 600 afghans in 6 years. The Advance newspaper did an article on us and there will be an article in the October issue of Thrivent Magazine, the magazine for Thrivent Financial that approves a grant for us each year to purchase materials. We are a group of about 40 Christian women from a variety of different faiths who meet one Sat. at 10am to noon, October through May, at ST. Matthew Lutherean Church, 5125 Cascade Rd. in Forest Hills. Folks bring brunch items, recipes, and patterns to share. We accept newbies as well as experienced knitters and crocheters. Any questions - contact Anita Erickson, 954-1991 ext. 128 |
