I just can't seem to find the thread where this was mentioned :-(
Someone had said they have a list of links for folks wanting to contribute by way of their knitting or sewing abilities...
Can you please respond to me here? Or by my home email - w zero zero five one at telus dot net
:-) Thank you (-:
I totally didn't see it at all, Sandra Rose! Sorry I can't help you!

I did, there's a whole list of it, back in September, search the archives... I know that at that time I was still posting as Noreen's Knit*che rather than as The YarnWright.... Hugs, Noreen and responses were mostly from Nora and Gem...
Well... see... ANOTHER blonde moment!!! Man they are coming a lot more frequently! Then again... if I had seen *part* of the message, I likely would have remembered. So phbbbt! ;op~~~
Gemini
LOL! Noreen
btw, I have a post today entitled Katrina Relief goes on, AND ADDENDUM to Katrina Relief goes on...
That was ME, in September (archival searches, look for Noreen's Knit*che rather than The YarnWright), and here's info for Biloxi, Mississippi: (posted earlier as: Katrina relief goes on, by moi)
Someone asked, so here's SOME info:
As of December 17th, my good online friend Gina Renay, a Biloxi MS survivor, posted the following on her blog: Knitters, crocheters, stitchers.... Afghans, blankets, prayer shawls, etc are still desperately needed in the Biloxi MS area. Your much appreciated donations can be sent to:
The Fox Den c/o Mr. Randy May
2nd Street @ Menge Av Pass Christian, MS 39571who will distribute your love gifts personally.
(then, I posted the following ADDENDUM:)
A few people have had trouble getting packages accepted by UPS for the Fox Den since the address is displayed as the corner of two streets rather than a street number on one street. The staff at the Fox Den deeply thanks you for your gifts and tell that they will be moving in 2 weeks to a new location. For those of you who will be shipping items in January, here is the address of a volunteer group that distributes needed supplies to 300-400 people a day who are still living in tents, trailers and cars:
Kay Ladner North Hancock Recovery Center
298291 Hwy 603 North Perkinston, MS 39573Hope that helps! Hugs, Noreen
... don't give until it HURTS, give until it HEALS....
Thank you for this!
It's not the one I had seen, but I appreciate it just as much Noreen!

I saw... and I *do* remember that thread before. However, Sandra Rose wasn't with RCTY back then... and she said it was a different post than that one, so maybe I *haven't* lost my mind afterall. HEY, whoever said that.... I HEARD THAT!!! ;o)
Gemini
:D you're welcome! the other ones were for specific people who were 'deliverers/deliverors' (?) via the Sal. Army and Red Cross,as well as the Cloths for Katrina group, if that helps narrow your search in the September archives! Hugs, Noreen
Hi Sandra,
Are you by any chance thinking of the list that had all the different kinds of group, like the Native American Indians and Afghans for Africa and others. I do remember that one too, and will search for it. I found the one Noreen had posted for the Katrina relief, but I don't think that was what you were looking for.
Higs,
Nora
It was someone who had a freind that taught craft classes, like quilting lap blankets etc, and the freind did not know what to do with these finished items... the person was surprised to discover the freind did not even know such things could be contributed to groups who accept hand crafted items for distribution to needy/worthy causes.
She then offered to send a list of such groups to anyone who did or had crafted items - 'send me a description of your projects' - like that...
Can't beleive it slipped off the server already - just me being blind ;-)
And the 'archives'? They are on a web site? or?
Sandra Rose
nope, you are right. But I have that now, and appreciate it :-)
This was a note from a person here who had her own list, and would send it to you if you wanted it, just email her...
Now I want it, I can't find it, go figure...

Heee hee!
*that* one is new, today, the others were in September, with names/addresses of specific people who would handdeliver goods... some were Red Cross volunteers, some were Salvation Army volunteers, and then there was Cloths for Katrina group info, etc. All in the September archives... Hugs, Noreen no, you haven't lost your mind... you can't lose what you never had, LOLOL! running VERY fast, Casper's gonna git me for his mama!Archives are at Google groups... someone here who uses google exclusively for ng access can help... I've only used it once or twice and "ain't-that-savvy" ;) Noreen
I resemble that remark! ;op~~
Gem
- Oh, and by running... you would definitely have Casper hot on your backside... he is VERY fast! LOL
That's why I got a big head start, he had to wait till 'mama' read my remark before he got hot on my tail! LOL Noreen
I did the Google search and found that Laura J had posted two links for groups. Here are the urls for them.
Oh good, when I posted this it didn't seem like the links were alive - but they are. So you can just click - no need to past in.
Thanks for the original post, Laura J.
Higs, Judy
Hi Judy,
Those must be the ones that I was thinking of, thanks for posting the links again.
Hugs,
Nora
