Thank you to all who attended our anniversary celebration, helped with the preparation or made donations.  It was on Saturday, April 11, 2009 from 11 a.m.  to 4 p.m at our Project Linus House, located in the parsonage of the Salem United Church of Christ, 2333 Lake Avenue in Fort Wayne. It was a beautiful day and we hope to continue to deliver blankets to children for many more years.  So many of you have been such an important part of our chapter's success that we want you to be a part of this celebration. We also thank you for your continued support. 

Over the last 5 years, we have been able to put a blanket hug around nearly 16,000 children in our community who were in crisis.
