| THANK YOU FRIENDS OF HATS OF COMFORT!
We are so very appreciative of all the support Hats of Comfort has received, and would like to use this page to acknowledge contributions and support.
Jeri Robinson, owner of Flying Fibers in Landisville, PA, a terrific fiber-arts shop, has opened her store to us for TV interviews, and volunteered as a drop-off site for donations. Many of us Hats of Comfort knitters happily congregate on Wednesday Open Knitting nights to enjoy the camaraderie, as well get help with difficult patterns.
Knitters and crocheters from the Butler, PA area took on our "cause" at an early stage, and sent an enormous box stuffed full of beautifully knit and crocheted hats. What a wonderful thing!
A grandmother in central PA ordered customized hats for her young granddaughter. She was so touched by the hats that in addition to her own monetary donation, she organized a fund raiser at her worksite and contributed the proceeds to Hats of Comfort. That contribution paid the postage for over 50 hats!
Thanks to the "C" family, who have been industriously knitting a marvelous variety of hats--all sizes, all colors, and wonderful yarn! We appreciate your enthusiasm and generosity.
The junior Fleece to Shawl team who meets at Flying Fibers and competed and won their first Fleece to Shawl weaving competition at the PA Farm Show in 2011 donated a significant portion of the funds received from auctioning off their winning shawl. This contribution has helped us pay for postage throughout 2011! Note that the oldest person on this team is 15 years old!
Dayna Reidenouer, one of the regular crocheters at Flying Fibers, initiated an interview of the Hats of Comfort team for the Merchandiser publication in the Lancaster, PA area. The coverage and color photo was wonderful, and led to additional interest and inquiries about Hats and our group.
Lori Burkholder of WGAL, the local TV station, interviewed the Hats team, resulting in the video link you can access from our website. This has led to a substantial number of additional requests and support.
The PA Breast Cancer Coalition has been sending out flyers on our behalf for over a year. Their efforts to raise awareness for Breast Cancer causes, as well as minister to women undergoing treatment for breast cancer, has also helped us make women aware of our service.
