Project Linus

Project Linus is a national volunteer organization that gives new, washable, handmade blankets to children in need of comfort. The local chapter we support has donated over 25,000 blankets.

Our members volunteer their time and energy to this project by sewing, ironing, binding and tagging blankets for donation. Many other TWA members helped by washing and drying the materials prior to the blanket making. Monetary funds are used to purchase materials and support the “Blanket Party” and the project in general. This year 9 members plus two family members participated in the event. 

Spring is the season of new growth, and the signs of change are all around us. Flowers outline parks and lawns, the days are longer, brighter and warmer, and our emotions are lifted by the extra light and raised temperature. Springtime is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life being born, and of the cycle of life once again starting. It is also seen more generally as the start of better times. The symbolism of spring is one most people can appreciate. In all cultural traditions, the world over, it is a time of re-birth and new beginnings.

If you missed our March General Membership Meeting, you missed a good one! We had great guest speakers from the Troy Police Department. They spoke to us about common scams that criminals carry out online, by phone and in person. These were all actual scams committed in our local community. There were lots of helpful tips given to avoid a scam and members were able to get their scam related questions answered. They left us with some helpful contacts both locally and nationally.
