Double Mitzvah

I am so pleased to tell you all about what has happened with our little school Lorax project. It grew, and it grew, and then it grew some more until it became something much more than it was originally intended to be.

What began as a creative, environmental endeavor turned into a fabulous double mitzvah.

First, some marvelous child and adult knitters and crocheters came together and collectively assembled a magical array of texture, colour and pattern; joyfully displaying their phenomenal creativity.

Then, a school came together and collectively planted a massive grove of trees to honour their principal. Thank you to all who contributed to the recent fundraiser. As a community we more than doubled the reserve. We raised over $1,000 for the JNF!

Janet was speechless when I told her what we had done. I don't know if any of you have ever seen Janet speechless (I certainly hadn't), but she was. When I told her that the quilt was hers, she simply welled up with tears.

I went up to the JNF offices to present them with the monies last week, and they are truly impressed and thankful.

Thank you everyone on a collective job well done.
