We've had our first snowfall of the year. As is often the case here, it has come and gone and we're back to mild fall weather. But, winter is coming. Work on this year's project is progressing better than expected. A couple of the places we donate to have canceled, but for the most part everything will go as it always does. We have lots of scarves and hats and blankets.
And dish cloths. I set a personal goal for myself to complete 200 dish cloths. Currently, I am on 175 so I think I might make it.
Just before this year's project begins on November 28, Last House on the Block Society will have its 8 year birthday which means the project, Santa Under the Bridge, is in its seventh year. Hard to believe that a small gesture - to knit scarves for the ladies in Marguerite Centre and give them as xmas gifts - has turned into the full scale project it has. In addition to Marguerite Centre, we also provide gifts to Alcare Place, Freedom Foundation, Stewart Place, Amethyst Apartments, Herring Cove Apartments, Feeding Others of Dartmoith, Souls Harbour Rescue Mission, Stepping Stone, Laing House, Mikmaw Native Friendship Center, Direction 180, Fit It Forward, Club 24, Supportive Housing for Young Mothers, and Women in Supported Housing.
