One of the many children that our community knitters have helped to stay warm over the years. We appreciate all of the time and effort that our knitters put into every hat and scarf.

On Saturday the 10th of October, the OSB chairs, Rosella Butler and Julie Sanders gave a presentation to the Redmond Presbyterian knitting group called Knit One Pray Too. They spoke about the Assistance League and how the Operation School Bell program works. We played the Daniel’s Story video for them and showed them photos of children wearing knit items and explained how the children love to pick out a scarf or a hat. The knitters were excited to learn about us because they have been knitting for us for several years but did not know how much their items were impacting recipients of OSB.

We received a genuinely nice thank you note from the group after the presentation. It is posted below.

“Thanks so much for attending our Knit One Pray Too meeting this morning. Your presentation was amazing and inspiring for all of us. We are pleased that our group can contribute to your program. Rest assured; we will continue making hats for you. And as we chatted after you left the meeting, we all resolved to make some scarves too.
Each of us was touched by the stories of the children you serve and the work that you do. And that is the inspiration that will keep us knitting for Operation School Bell. Thank you for spending time with us today!
Regards,
Dale Hauer
Knit One Pray Too”
