Knitters in the audience have I got a volunteer event for you.
Stitch for a Cause, a community service group at Kentucky Country Day is throwing a “Stitch-In” on Saturday December 13, 2008. On that day volunteers will be knitting or crocheting baby hats to be donated to Save the Children.
“Knit One, Save One is a grassroots effort launched by Save the Children and the Warm Up
America Foundation to help protect the 4 million newborns who die each year in the first
month of life in the developing world.
Event participants will join knitters and crocheters around the USA in making a baby cap and
writing a personal note to the next President urging him to lead the way to save millions of
babies globally.
In early 2009, Save the Children will take the notes to the next President and discuss needed
actions. The caps will be distributed to pregnant women and new moms and their babies in
many countries, including Ethiopia, Mozambique and Afghanistan.”
Free patterns and yarn will be available, as well as special stations for tagging hats and letter writing. Volunteers will be on hand to help beginning crafters. Refreshments will be served.
