Spartans Serve: Blankets for Vets Project

Sacramento Spartans:

In recognition of Veterans Day, our alumni club will be honoring veterans by providing blankets to a hospital unit at the VA Hospital in Mather, CA. We have committed to making 25 no-sew fleece blankets. There will be a blanket making party at Angie Strawn's home on Sunday, October 27, from 1-4 pm. (There is an earlier event on Sunday, October 6.)

The blankets are simple to make; just cutting and trying strips of fleece. They wash beautifully and provide much warmth! You will be given instructions at the party on how to construct the blankets. No need to bring anything as the VA Is providing the fleece. However, if you have fabric shears, that would be helpful. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete a blanket. If you cannot stay the whole time, you will be able to take the fleece home to finish and return.

Once you RSVP, you will receive additional information including the address. If you have questions, please email Angie at amstrawn@comcast.net. Please consider being a part of this alumni service project. Spartans Will!
