Blanket Bees, Community Days, and Mary-thons! Oh My!!!

Hi everyone! 

Well, the snow this morning pretty much says summer is over! The days will be colder and the nights longer for the next several months. Sounds like perfect Project Linus blanket making conditions to me! 



Blanket Days Rolling Again! 

We've had two blanket days already... one in Great Falls and one in Helena. Great times at both, and some beautiful work done! Thanks everyone for coming, and I hope to see you next time! 

Our next Bee for Great Falls will be October 20, and I'm anxious to see some of the finished Zig Zag Quilts. Our Helena ladies created some great Disappearing 4-Patch quilts and some fleece as well. Their next Bee will be in early December.  


Moving Forward Mary-thon 2013 Registration 

Mary is so excited to announce that Registration is now open for the 2013 Moving Forward Mary-thon.  The starting gun goes off on January 1, 2013 and she says it's going to be a banner year!!! I have to say... I've done these the last two years, and it really does make me keep a commitment to work out at least 5 days a week!

Some of the changes to the 2013 event include an updated web site and a Moving Forward Mary-thon Workbook. The 2013 Moving Forward Mary-thon Medal is pictured on the Moving Forward Mary-thon Registration page.  In addition to the Workbook, the registration package also includes tracking sheet, pledge, racing bib and a new 25 ounce Moving Forward Mary-thon water bottle.  Click here to go to the website:  Moving Forward Mary-thon Webpage

Most fitness events donate a portion of the proceeds collected to a charity.  The Moving Forward Mary-thon donates $10 to Project Linus for each Mary-thon registration!!!  You can designate that you want your $10 to go to our chapter. Last year the Mary-thon raised over $4000 for Project Linus!

For those of you from out of town... you can help as well AND get some great bargains! The coupon book has several coupons you can use online...with bargains as good as and even better than the in-store deals. Now you can buy your coupon book online to support Project Linus. Just go to http://bit.ly/SxjnNN for more information. Project Linus will get the entire $5!

That's all for now!
