After the regular meeting at Phill and Lynne's home, we'll be tying blankets for "A Bed of My Own". Their mission is to support the employability of homeless and near homeless women and their children. Many time the first step is to find a place for the kids to call their own, get a good nights' sleep and some home.
The project is easy. We take material the Nokomis has already gathered, cut it to size and slice the edges into fringes. We then tie knots on each of the fringes to provide some heft and durability. Last year the assembled team completed four full blankets. This year we're shooting for five, and need your help.
We'll have lunch during the event. Lynne is providing vegan pumpkin tomato soup, salad, and some basic drinks (lemonade, iced tea, water, coffee). If you have food to share for the event, please do and thank you in advance.
We'll probably get started about 1/2 hour after the meeting completes, about 1:30 PM if history holds. While we haven't set an end time, I'd say between 5-6 PM is a decent expectation. We won't throw anyone out before bedtime, and it's likely we might watch a movie if there is interest.
Hope to see you all there!
