LINUS – 11th Blanketeering Night! 03/28/2019

Dear Fellow Lions and Friends

We spontaneously put on our 11th Blanketeering night on Thursday March 28th, 2019, at 6:30pm as always at the Odd Fellows Lodge # 70, at 20589 Homestead Road in Cupertino. Under the guidance of Lion Les and with the help of Lion Carl, fleece had been procured from Joann’s craft store. Fourteen adults and 7 kids worked for a good two hours to complete 55 blankets for the LINUS organization. Sharon Lee, our liaison to LINUS, did a small presentation to describe the purpose of the blankets; she also brought great scissors together with the other tools required for blanketeering. Lion Claire brought 4 brownies, including two of her kids, while Lion Prez Jeff was present with the 3 youngsters from his family. While the adults were mostly occupied with cutting the fringes, the little ones were busy tying the knots. In one of the breaks they were entertaining the adults and themselves with a few songs. Everybody seemed to have good fun making 55 blankets for a good cause.

We thank all lions and friends and family, as well as the kids, and of course Lion Don and the Odd Fellows for letting us use their hall which is just perfect for this event.
