Welcome to the home page of the New River Valley (Virginia) Chapter!             The next NRV Project Linus Blanket Day is June 8, 2013 at Grove United Methodist Church, Radford, VA from 9:00 AM  to 3:00 PM.  A message from Penny Sweet, NRV Project Linus Coordinator,   Hello Friends, Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and is looking forward to a beautiful Spring!  I wanted to share several bits of information with you and remind you to put our summer Blanket Day on your calendar – Saturday, June 8th! BB&T bank in Radford is working on a wonderful fundraiser to benefit our Project Linus chapter!  They are raising money to purchase fleece for blankets and the employees will make some blankets to donate.  They will donate any extra fleece to our chapter and also hope to attend the June Blanket Day.  I really appreciate all that they are doing for us and wanted to share the good news. Harry the Jeweler in Radford has also come on board as a Project Linus supporter!  He is going to have a donation jar on his counter to collect donations for our chapter and also will spread the word to his customers about Project Linus.  I really appreciate him being so supportive of our chapter!  Harry also will give free watch batteries to all Armed Forces Veterans and also to nursing home patients.  Feel free to share that information to anyone you know who could benefit. Hope to see each of you at the June 8th Blanket Day!  Thank you for all you do for Project Linus! Fondly, Penny Sweet   DONATIONS REQUESTED:  Project Linus will always accept donations of appropriate material, yarn, and batting.  Also, cash donations are greatly appreciated.  All of the material is purchased or donated.  Donations may be made to honor someone's birthday, anniversary, holidays, etc.  If you do this, an acknowledgment of the donation will be sent at your request.  Please contact Penny Sweet for more  information.
