Your best bet is to print out a link to our blog and ask people to contact us there. We also hav a Ravelry group, where interaction is a bit easier. Best of luck.

Most members don’t post much but are very active in person. About 15 of use meet monthly, even over the summer. Twice a year, there is a day of charity knitting for H4H at Steven Be’s yarn shop in Minneapolis. I also am very much involved in coordinating online, like here on Ravelry. And for the first time ever, we did some sorting in my basement last fall. We also have two very very active in-person coordinators who coordinate the sorting and distribution.<br /><br />So yes, please send items you are willing to donate. The mailing address changed last fall; please send items here:<br /><br />Kathy Zanner<br />6450 York Ave S<br />Edina Minnesota 55435<br /><br />And thank you so much in advance!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298675026770633022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103134439475076913.post-59522422869234169082023-09-02T17:50:28.689-05:002023-09-02T17:50:28.689-05:00Now it’s September 2023.
