Rotary In-Person Evening ~ Service Project Event
Nov. 13, 2025 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

We will be using felt blanket making materials donated by Joyce Graff to make blankets that we will donate to Project Linus. 

Project Linus is run by volunteers in locally run chapters that distribute blankets to hospitals, shelters, social service agencies, organizations or individually to any child that may be in need of the comfort a blankie can bring. We support all kids from premature infant to older teens.

Today there are hundreds of Project Linus chapters across all 50 Unites States, providing a creative community service outlet to thousands of volunteers, and providing comfort to thousands of children.

The Greater Boston Project Linus consists of several volunteers that give their time and energy to support children in the Greater Boston area. We also get involved in supplying blankets to other locations when disaster strikes. This includes sending blankets to families that have experienced floods and fires and no longer have a safe place to live.

Details, location and Zoom link will be sent to Members and those on our mailing list.  If you would like to attend and are not on our mailing list, please email brooklinerotary@gmail.com or contact Candace Cramer by clicking on her name at the left.
