Make a Difference Day

      Make A Difference Day          
                       
     

                         Make a Difference Day 2009

       
   

The sewing machines and sergers were buzzing away at the biennial Make A Difference Day held at the Northtown Hancock Fabrics in Coon Rapids.

Eighteen sewers of all ages showed up to make drain tube bags and anti-ouch pouches for St. John’s Hospital.

Hancock’s was very receptive to ASG as we took over the store.We sewed at three tables at the very front of the store near the cash registers and at two tables in the back of the store. Many customers stopped to ask about our projects and the ASG. It was a great promotional tool.

We finished over 500 drain tube bags and 24 anti-ouch pouches which were delivered to St. John’s Hospital on the following Monday.

Thank you to everyone who participated to make this Make a Difference Day fabulous.

Next Make a Difference Day is October 23, we will be sewing at the Woodbury Hancock Fabric Store.
