LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF
The quilters have sewn, assembled, and packed 56 qui lts for LWR. Sixty-four School Kits, 3 Fabric Kits, and 14.6 pounds of soap are also packed and ready to go. These items will be delivered week after Easter to Bethel Lutheran Church in Dallas where a semi-truck from LWR will collect area donations to take to their warehouse in Maryland.
Many thanks to all of you who worked this past year on the quilts; donated school supplies, sewed bags for, and packed the School Kits; and contributed soap and fabric for the Fabric Kits. Last year LWR helped people in 35 countries.

ONGOING PROJECTS
Quilters will meet on Saturday, April 13, from 10 to 3. Please join us and have fun visiting while we begin work on the quilts for next year’s LWR collection. Bring a sack lunch or some food to share.
We can always use unopened motel-size toiletries, discarded magazines, and flannel (new or like new) for receiving blankets. These items are taken to JPS Hospital. Full-size toiletries are given to Open Arms women's shelter or the Night Shelter. The quilters always need flat sheets in good condition for quilt backing.

FIRST FRIDAY GIRLS NIGHT OUT
Mark your calendar for our Quarterly First Friday Girls Night Out on May 3rd! Location & details to be announced so watch your green sheets and emails in April. We had so much fun in January, so please make plans to join us.

DONATIONS
The women of Calvary donated a total of $650 to the Mock Tea Party in February. This money will be used throughout the year to fund our projects and pay dues to national Women of the ELCA. Thank you all very much!
In March 42 care sacks for women, 23 receiving blankets for preemies and newborns, and 50 lb. of magazines were taken to JPS Hospital. Open Arms received 3.75 lb. of assorted toiletries.

WOMEN’S WORK DAY AT N.E.E.D.
Possible Women’s Work Day at N.E.E.D. – We’ve been approached about helping out at the distribution center in Fort Worth. This will help in two ways. One is the actual work we will do, the other is that money will be donated to N.E.E.D. for every hour we each work. If you’re interested, come to the events above or contact Carol Court at 817-271-7275 or carolmcourt@gmail.com.
