SPECIAL BENEVOLENCES
The Little Rock Air Force Base Protestant Congregations are heartily thanked for the largest group gift ever received by Care Caps. Also, we are grateful for the repeat grants by the Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Diamondhead Community Church (Hot Springs, Arkansas) and the THRIVENT Lutheran Foundation.
MILES OF FABRIC
We have sewn over 8 1/2 miles in three years. Please send 45” cotton fabric contribution of one yard or more or a monetary gift to keep us on the go.
PATTERNS
The most-asked question is, “Can I have a pattern?” The straight-ahead answer is, “No”.
But the question is understood and appreciated. People want to help. Unfortunately, a pattern cannot show the special methods used at several points in the process--they must be experienced. For anyone who joins a Care Cap sew-in or two, this becomes evident. Once the method is learned, use it for your own. Also, if you choose to take our cap apart to replicate it, do it. Call Mary. She will advise.
A further comment: The Care Cap name and its label are the property of Volunteer America--1776 and are trademarked. Please reserve them to us. Thank you.
