So let me share with you some of the details:
- a total of 37 people came on Saturday to work on our projects (maybe our biggest crowd yet!)
 | |
| Volunteers pitch in with pressing |
- 10 walker bags, 29 wheel chair bags, and 22 lap robes were completed (everything got done!)
- 38 cards and greetings ready for delivery to the veterans
 | |
| Volunteers making cards for veterans |
- total of 124 hours volunteers spent between Friday set-up and Saturday end-of-day
- hours above does not include time spent by the numerous ASG members who

donated fabrics, helped to cut, pin, and prep-sew these items, and participated
in the other various prep activities.
-special shout-outs to the Poughkeepsie Plaza Mall (for letting us use their space, tables & chairs) and to Bob & Sue Frisenda at Sew n' Vac for use of their tables, chairs, sewing machines & other miscellaneous items. Without the annual support from these folks, we would not have the capability of completing our projects.

Needless to say, "many hands make light work" and I just know our Castle Point veterans will be pleased with our accomplishments.
