LOTS MORE DONTAIONS

Considering the HOT, HOT weather we have been having, we have received quite a bit of cold weather items. It is so good to see that you all are thinking of those in need for the winter to come. I don't want to think of the cold weather at the moment, because I am enjoying this beautiful summer we are having and I hope you are having a great summer too!

Casting off The Cold is looking for new members to join our online group. Please feel free to contact us for more info. Also every one is welcome to join in, at any of our regular meetings, in Stouffville and Markham. You can check the calender on our website for the time and place for all our meetings. So drop by and bring your needles or hooks and yarn and help make a difference for those in need, for the York Region Shelters and the Homeless.

Last year there was a greater need for blankets and Afghans. We have made our quote for Afghans for this winter, but in great need for baby and kids blankets. So we are hoping by the end of September we will receive a lot more blankets. So please help!

This beautiful Afghan is from Erma

and she come down from Trenton to Markham,

to drop off what ever she makes in between her visit to Markham.

Here are a few preemie hat from her,

also four beautiful preemie blankets,

two baby blankets

and a large sweater for our outreach program.

Thank you so much Erma for your contribution.
