We have two group supported causes that both hit around Oct-Nov. One is Project Rudolph and the other is Heartstrings. We need ornaments that are scrolled for both. B4man will supply the specific pattern for Heartstrings. I am giving several samples of ornaments for Project Rudolph. Any flat ornaments will work for Project Rudolph, but I do better when someone shoves one in front of me and says "make this".
Everyone can support these causes. If you don't scroll, perhaps you could help with supplies or postage. For Project Rudolph they are also in need of hand-written letters (especially from kids), candy, personal products...
I would like to send ornaments, at least a first batch after the picnic. The ornaments can be of any kind of wood, finished or unfinished (which is why they need them early). Last year they were short of ornaments. Please help on these two projects.
My original and longer version is listed below.
I realize Christmas is months away, but that this is a great time to start scrolling ornaments. Last year Project Rudolph (ornaments, gift bags, handwritten notes... to our troops over seas) ran short of ornaments, and they have asked that we get started in order to get them to the organizer's earlier this year. If you don't want to paint/finish the ornaments they will, but need lead time. They are talking about 10's of thousands bags.
Frequently when we ask for ornaments with only a size specification we don't get a lot of response. This year I found a group of lighthouse ornaments from a number of years ago and am trying to reach the designer for permission to distribute the pattern for this use. They'll have to be slightly modified so folks who's saws use pin-ended blades could still make them. I thought the tie-in to lighthouses and NC was kind of neat. Of course, any ornaments that are not larger than 5" wide will do.
There is a file in the download library re: Project Rudolph. The final dates will vary, but hopefully no one will wait until the end. Everyone can send them to the coordinators of this project as they make them. We could also collect any thar are ready to go at the picnic.
There are many way that all of our members can support the projects other than scrolling ornaments. Materials are needed, postage, handwritten letters (see guidelines) or other information supplied in the Project Rudolph information. (search the download library for Project Rudolph). Letters from children are especially appreciated. They can also decorate paper lunch bags
I know that the Heart String project is also coming up. B4man will give us more information at that project. I think it would be very special if we can contribute contribute to both of these very worthy causes.
