As promised, here is a big post with highlights of 18th annual Love Cap Celebration and ingathering. Every year I get nervous that no one will show up, but you always do! We had a crowd of about 65.
We worked on projects
We celebrated MIFA’s 40th anniversary
We had a trivia quiz show with Team Crochet emerging victorious over Team Knit
We gave away a lot of door prizes and yarn….
And collected just under 2600 caps, lap robes and other handmade items!
Everyone had a great time
Groups from Luther Towers, Woodland Presbyterian Church and Temple Israel were our top cap producers while Plough Towers turned in the most lap robes. More caps have been delivered to MIFA since this event, so stay tuned for updated totals and a complete list of our top producers.
Thanks to Ann Fain, BJ Massengill and Gwenice McLaughlin for providing refreshments, to William and Max for carrying heavy bags full of caps, to the Church of the Holy Communion for sharing their lovely fellowship hall with us, to Christiana, Lynsey and April for hosting the trivia quiz show, to Leah for help setting up tables, to MIFA employees Sally and Linda for their greeting and photography skills, and to all who helped pack up and clean up afterwards. We also thank those who donated yarn and door prizes.
yay! thanks to you Sarah for hosting and for doing everything all year long!
