Celebrate Mother's Day by honoring their gift to us all.

As a mother with her son at sea for the first time this Mother's Day, it occurs to me that many MOTHERS today are celebrating with their children in harms way. I am fortunate, Ladd is in school and not harms way. We may not all agree politically with war; but as a mother I honor all soldiers & their mothers who are sacrifing so much so that we can live an incredible life in America. In March, Carlene Michael put out the call for a service project knitting helmet liners for troops serving in Iraq & Afghanistan. Carlene is a life member of the Pioneers, a service organization made up of telephone workers. Our first shipment of 27 liners by 10 knitters has been sent to the Pioneers, who will coordinate with the Bangor Troop Greeters to deliver them to the troops departing overseas. Let’s make this an ongoing project. If you didn’t get a chance to start or finish - keep on knitting, we will be sending more at a later date. Yarn and needles are available at Island Home with a 50%discount.
Thank You knitters!
