The Helen McGraw Branch of the Irondequoit Public Library would like to thank the community for its tremendous response to our solicitation for knitted and crocheted swatches. Together we assembled over 70 blankets which have been distributed to local organizations including the Arc of Monroe County, Catholic Charities, Catholic Family Services, numerous nursing homes, dialysis centers, homeless shelters and a veterinary adoption agency. As well, we are indebted to Nancy Vandivert and the Warm Up America Foundation for guiding and driving the project to its realization.
