January 2024 Meeting Wrap Up

Did you miss this month’s meeting? Here’s a short wrap up.

Program Recap

This month’s meeting featured our annual service knitting kick off. We were joined by staff from St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, which will be one of our partners again for 2024. She shared all the different groups they serve at the hospital and how our knits are dispersed.

Thanks to everyone who made items for this year’s service partners. We collected 1,171 items and distributed them to:

Avenues for Youth
Life House in Duluth, MN
St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, MN
Thursday’s Table (All God’s Children Metropolitan Community Church)
21st Century Academy

In 2024 we will be knitting items for St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth and for St. Paul Public Schools. For details about this year’s service partners and what they need see: https://knitters.org/service-knitting

You can continue to drop off your completed service items at the Sip and Knit and Knitting Around Town events.
