We are working with Days for Girls International to
support women and girls in refugee camps in Chad, located in central
Africa.
We are well-stocked in all the sewing components but UNDERWEAR is
what could keep us from reaching our goal of contributing at least
1000 Days for Girls Hygiene kits to the Chad refugee
project.
Please donate as many panties as you can and ask your friends,
family, colleagues, and group members to help!
We would love to have your donation by February 27, when we will next
be doing kit assembly. (We will do kit assembly again on March
27, but if possible, get the panties to us this month.)
We need at least
TWO
THOUSAND PAIRS OF PANTIES!
You can easily order cotton underwear (see guidelines on flyer above)
via our Amazon wishlist if you don't have time to go out to
shop:

If you need a physical address to ship to, use Days for Girls c/o
Michelle Belanger, 6022 NW 26 Terrace, Gainesville, FL
32653. We don't use the sewing center address for packages as
we are not always there.

We are happy to announce that the
renovations of the Fellowship Hall have been completed, which means
that we will have enough space for a socially distanced sewathon.
To keep everyone safe, we will allow two shifts of up to 16 people at a
time.
YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR A TIME SLOT in advance. Here is the link:

You will note
that the Saturday 2/27 and Saturday 3/27 shifts are 10-12 and
12:30-2:30. If you are bringing a group, we need each individual
to put their name, phone, and email address on the google

Also note that we are open on Mondays 4:00-6:30 pm by appointment
during February and March only.

I am
so sorry that I don't have time to write a full newsletter but wanted
to get this information out immediately as it is time-sensitive.
We have a lot to share. Hopefully in the next week or two.
