WOW!!
'WOW!!' is what comes to my mind when I reflect on the month of September.
Here is a summary of Minnesota's Miles of Pillowcase Smiles Campaign:
Minnesota volunteers made 2,948 pillowcases!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS AWESOME!! Thank you for all of your effort, time, talent, etc. We have a nice supply built up for more deliveries to the hospitals. Many of the pillowcases have already been delivered and have kiddos sleeping on them each night.
After I announced our goal for September was 1&1/2 miles I had a great response from a volunteer - "What happened to 1&1/4th?" I guess that volunteer is very wise since we made just over 1&1/4th of a mile!!
Pillowcase deliveries in September - 890!:
Children's Hospital Minneapolis - 177
Children's Hospital St. Paul - 147
Ronald McDonald House - 118
Shriners Hospital - 50
St. Mary's Hospital Duluth - 144
University of Minnesota Amplatz - 254
Sewing with the kiddos:
Ronald McDonald House
University of Minnesota Amplatz Hospital
Several sewing events throughout Minnesota: Ely, Jackson, Gibbon, Silver Bay, Shakopee, and New Hope
Many, many volunteers sewing at their homes and mailing or dropping off completed cases.
Two students registered a ConKerr Cancer group at the University of Minnesota (more soon about this)
Submitted Cities 97 Sampler Charities Grant Request

It truly is an honor volunteering for this organization with you. I loved the ambition and dedication you had to make a mile of pillowcases. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all you do to make our chapter and the overall organization successful. Thank you.
Smiles,
Carolyn
