Title: Red Scarf Project Post by 13bodies on Nov 15th, 2005 at 4:34pm
I posted this over at the LHC, but I know we've got a bunch of crafty people here who can help out, too. :D
The Orphan Foundation of America is seeking handmade (crocheted or knitted) scarves to put in their Valentine's Day care packages sent to orphaned college students. Their goal is 2500 scarves by January 20, 2006. The scarves don't have to be red; they can be any color. Scarves can be sent to: Orphan Foundation of America Red Scarf Project 12020 D North Shore Drive Reston, VA 20190 Put a tag on each scarf with your name, city, and group affiliation (if any). They ask that you include your email address in the package to the foundation as well. You can contact the National Events Coordinator, Annalisa Assaadi, at: afa@orphan.org, 703-821-8869 I know we're all crunched for time with the holidays coming up, but it doesn't take all that much time to make one little skinny scarf by Jan. 20th, does it? ;D I'm starting mine tonight. I'm even putting the ^%*&# ruana on hold till this is done. 8) |

Interesting project. I've been busy making mittens and socks for orphans. I'll have to see if I can crank out a scarf on my circular knitter and get it sent out.
