Blankets of Hope

The 6th annual Blankets of Hope marathon will be held on Saturday January 28, 2012.  Please volunteer to help make these no sew fleece blankets to be distributed to injured and ill U.S. soldiers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.  Last year 200 volunteers came together from Bowie and the surrounding community and made 366 blankets.  If you are able please bring 2 yards of printed fleece and 2 yards of a coordinating solid fleece, scissors and a ruler. If you are not able to bring supplies please join us anyway.  Donations are also needed to purchase fleece and packaging supplies.  Checks should be made payable to Soldiers Angels and mailed to Lisa Dodson 12305 Chalford Lane Bowie, MD 20715.  There are 2 locations for the event this year:  Ascension Catholic Church at 12700 Lanham Severn Road Bowie, MD from 8am to 3pm and All Saints Lutheran Church at 16510 Mt. Oak Road Bowie, MD 20716 from 1pm to 5pm.  Contact Lisa Dodson at (301) 805-1085 or Deborah Rice at (240) 381-1184 for more information.
