The Angel Foundation
April 10, 2008
I have been blessed to have met Kelly T. at the Knit-Out & Crochet 2008 in February. She works with the Angel Foundation (http://www.mnangel.org) and asked me if I would be interested in working with their organization. I graciously accepted her invitation.
The Angel Foundation was founded in 2001 and their mission is to improve the quality of life throughout the cancer experience and their focus is on the personal day to day needs and necessities of cancer patients in the state of Minnesota.
The Angel Foundation has volunteered to distribute pink scarves at their cancer suppport group meetings and at the Celebration of Life in May to cancer survivors.
Kelly, it’s going to be a pleasure working with you. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be part of this great organization!

I have some exciting news from Threads, a fiber arts group at the University of Wisconsin-Stout!
Erin Forton e-mailed me and said that Threads has completed 62 scarves and many more on the way. Threads made it their goal this semester to donate 100 scarves to women in Minnesota and Wisconsin as part of a community service project.
Erin said the group is planning to distribute the scarves to community members that have been referred to them and they will also be donating a large number of scarves to Mayo’s Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
