Community Care Center in Garland at 505 W Centerville , now under new ownership, was visited by our local press. They noted a need for lap blankets for residents sitting in wheelchairs.Linda Jarish is coordinating the drive with a due date of April 7. Some ideas that do not require sewing are to cut 2 piece of felt, cut ties on the pieces and tie them together . Another suggestion is buying at local outlets that are putting the items on real sales at the end of the season. If you would like to help,Linda can be reached at lteddy1@tx.rr.com or 972 742 3355.
