Hello Friends!
We have been thinking about plans for a Blanket Day event in the fall. Due to health considerations and the uncertainties that continue to exist with the COVID virus and variants, we have decided to not hold an in-person Blanket Day event this year. However, we do plan to have a drop-off / drive-thru event on http://mmsaccounting.ca/tags/income-tax Saturday, September 18th, 2021. We will set up at two locations and hopefully anyone who has blankets to deliver will find it convenient to stop by and drop them off.
Sew Biz parking lot, 7327 Peppers Ferry Blvd, Fairlawn, VA,
10 am – 12 noon
Joann Fabrics, Christiansburg parking lot,
2 pm – 4 pm
You can always leave blankets at Sew Biz or Joann Fabrics (drop box inside to the left of the door) whenever you have some ready.
The date to register for the 2021 Project Linus Mystery Challenge is approaching! On Monday, August 23, registration will open for “Oliver is in the Doghouse” at www.projectlinus.org. Look for the “Mystery Challenge” link. There will be nine weeks of clues for the mystery quilt beginning on September 25th. All levels of quilters are welcome to participate! There are wonderful directions and videos to explain every step. Please encourage your quilter friends to participate and to list NRV-Radford Chapter when they register. We will receive the full registration fee and it is a great fundraiser for our chapter so we can continue providing blankets for local children!
One of our long-time volunteers, Bette Wright, could use our thoughts and prayers for a recent injury. To help cheer her up during her recovery, please send her a card if you have a moment to do so. Bette has volunteered with our chapter for over 20 years.

Would you like to learn a special skill??
NRV Project Linus provides weighted blankets to children with special needs. These blankets retail for between $100-$250 making it totally inaccessible for most children in need. We have an expert weighted blanket artisan who can’t wait to share her skills with someone who would like to learn to assist with this special project. Materials are provided but you would need to own a sewing machine and have basic sewing skills. Please contact Penny Sweet if you are interested.

MISSION STATEMENT
Project Linus is a volunteer non-profit organization with a two-fold mission:
FIRST, it is our mission 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.”
SECOND, it is our mission to provide rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
Anyone, any age, can help these children. It is within your power to make a difference.
Nearly 400 chapters of Project Linus exist nationally, with more than 4,000,000 blankets donated to children.
