Help support the Rotary Blanket Project!
This year’s Ohio Rotary Presidents-Elect (PETS) has chosen a very special group to support:
My Very Own Blanket is dedicated to warming the heart of every child in the foster care system and other youth in need with their own blanket, to give them a feeling of comfort, security, and most of all, a SMILE.
PETS has set a goal of Ohio Rotarians donating 16,000 blankets to be distributed to children throughout each district. We need your help to reach this goal!
How can you help?
1. Join us at our blanket-making event with our Interact Students on Wednesday, March 30th from 3:00-5:30 at the Canton Symphony Orchestra’s Zimmerman Center, located at McKinley High School where we will work together to make it easy to assemble fleece blankets from kits that the club has purchased.
2. Grab a kit to make at home! This is a great opportunity to get spouses, children, and grandchildren, neighbors, and friends involved with our project.
Kits will be available at Friday meetings, or if one needs to be dropped off to someone, email Jennie George or Rich Micelli and we can arrange to have a kit delivered. These blankets take about 60-90 minutes to make. Blankets are due by Friday, March 25th.
To sign up for the blanket day, to get a blanket kit, or for more information please contact Jennie George at jgeorge@cantoncpc.org or Rich Micelli at rmicelli@ymcastark.org
