Hello from a sunny time in Seattle.

I have been getting a good response from some of the church areas. I will be making an announcement also to accept any used clothing, as several in our region have asked if we needed clothing. We can collect both children's and adult clothing.

Last week I saw the beginnings of our local collection--and was pleasantly surprised at what we have to work with. We have also collected sheets to be used on top of blankets and/or bedrolls, since the blankets will be a lighter cover during hot weather and the fact that they can also be washed more often than the blankets. Some of the ladies are beginning to make the bedrolls. We have someone with a commercial serger who has volunteered to make a quicker job on the sewing part. We are happy about that!
