Donation Update

June, 2004 Dear Contributors: Thank you all very much for your continued contributions. We have just shipped 350 pounds of knitted clothing to Virginia. It will be put on a container ship along with other supplies and sent to Afghanistan in time for their winter. Your knitted clothing will be put to good use keeping needy people of Afghanistan warm. We have been informed that the operation of De Solay Daywa, the organization that collects and distributes our contributions, will be expanding their operation to include Iraq. The need is as great in Iraq and we are extremely pleased that we are able to help those less fortunate people with our contributions. |
Dear Contributors, I would like to thank everyone for contributing to the Special Knitting Forces. Unfortunately, I have lost my volunteer who was sending the individual responses to all of the donors. Therefore, no acknowledgment letters have gone out in the past two months. I assume that is part of the reason why the contributions have dwindled. As far as we know, there is still a need to help. We would like to keep the project alive and will explore ways to advertise. Please continue to send your contributions to us so that we can help the needy people of Afghanistan.
Sincerely, |
Our efforts have finally come to fruition. The Special Knitting Forces donations are being distributed by members of De Solay Daywa. We will continue to collect and ship to Afghanistan through the Hayward Sunset Rotary and De Solay Daywa. Pictures of the distribution can be seen at the Hayward Sunset Rotary web site. We will try to get a tabulation of the total amount shipped to determine if we have reached a goal of a million sweaters. Regardless, we will continue to send clothing because there is a need. We are also in the process of attempting to respond to and acknowledge all of the donors. Please be patient if you have not received an acknowledgment. We will try to get to them all. For now, let us continue the great work by knitting and sending you contributions to us. |
