 WELCOME

Care Caps welcomes our newest receiver:  Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center. 
                                     
 TRADING SERVICE FOR A ROOM

Sage Hospitality has a special offer for community service volunteers.  Through March 31, Care Cap helpers can receive free hotel stays or 50% off at 53 Sage locations.  Go to www.giveadaygetanight.com for information.  Contact us if you decide to take the offer.

 PATTERNS

The most-asked question is, “Can I have a pattern?” The straight-ahead answer is, “No”.

If you take our cap apart to replicate it, fine...or, come to a sew-in to learn from Mary. Two Florida teams spun off from personal time in Mary's sewing room.  Started at Lakeland, garments are called "Sunshine Caps".  An Arkansas group uses Mary's basic design, calling their garments, "Love Caps".  We encourage all efforts!  Yours, too!

ONLINE GIVING

Certain web sites allow consumers to purchase products and to designate charities as recipients of contributions through that site.  One is www.iGive.com.  Recently, our charity was designated by a consumer. We appreciate this very much...but...the designation was for "Care Cap Connections"--our operating division, not "Volunteer America-1776"--our IRS-approved name.  If you select our charity for online giving, please use the latter name and, if needed, our EIN 20-5012797.  Our address is 103 Tanglewood Circle, Fairfield Bay AR 72088.  Gifts to either name are received by us--we just want to keep the tax folks happy.
