Are you interested? We need volunteers for Community Service.

Orphan Block Adoption Service.
LNCQ's Community Service is adopting orphan blocks. Look through your stash, peek inside those boxes and poke through the UFOs. Do you find any orphan blocks that you would donate to the community service committee? Why don't you bring them to the next General Meeting and drop them off at the Community Service table? Orphan blocks will be assembled into a quilt at a later time and donated to a worthy organization.

Project Linus - Fort Collins Chapter .
Amberly Nichols, Fort Collins Chapter Coordinator, is inviting anyone who is interested in Project Linus to get involved with the Fort Collins Chapter.

Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides blankets throughout the US. Our local Fort Collins chapter provides blankets to over 20 organizations throughout Northern Colorado. It is the mission of Linus to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.” Our blanketeers meet on the 2nd Tuesday of every month (quilting group) from 6:00 to 8:30 pm and the 2nd Saturday of every month (yarn group) from 9:00-11:30 am at Our Saviors Lutheran Church at 2000 South Lemay.

Amberly Nichols will be adding a few more groups in Loveland and Windsor at a later date and will forward that information to us when we confirm a place to meet at these locations. Linus also has hundreds of volunteers that do not belong to a group but make blankets and drop them off at the following drop-off sites.

Super Wal-Mart - 1250 E. Magnolia, Fort Collins
JoAnn's - 2839 S. College,, Fort Collins
The Fig Leaf - 2700 S. College, Fort Collins
Loveland Super Wal-Mart - 250 65th St.

All of drop-off sites have the Linus newsletter and the blanket specifications. Linus also has a website at www.projectlinus.org where more information can be found. Amberly Nichols email address for project Linus is project.linus@yahoo.com.
