Scarves for Maine's Special Olympics

I just found out that Maine will need scarves ( headbands, mittens and hats) for their Special Olympics next year.

I wish the other New England states were involved in the scarf project as well but is Maine is part of NE so to my  yarn stash I go. I hope you will send in a few items to help out. Message me on facebook if you have any questions.

Hello again!

This group has been quiet for too long. Lets waken it back up with a Hat Drive!
I mentioned on facebook that we need to make 50 hats a month . We have 20 + centers to donate to. if we can make and send 25-30 hats to each center through out the year I am sure it will be much appreciated by the centers. 
I am adding a few Veteran centers to our list and to honor them I will be starting “Thank a Veteran Campaign” ( 
caps to benefit veterans in VA cancer centers) in September. More info about that in a week or two.
Come on team, WE CAN DO THIS!! :) 50 hats each month!
