| SEW FOR THE CURE The Simi Valley Neighborhood Group led by Ruth Dempsey made small gifts for the gift bags that are to be given to the participants of the Race for the Cure Breast Cancer fund raiser. |

| They made 3 small gift items - a purse sized tissue holder, a glasses/sunglasses case, and a water bottle tote. Members were able to use scraps from their stash and also purchased the breast cancer pink bow fabric to coordinate with the items. |

| The Race for the Cure is a fund raising event for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. For more information please visit www.komen.org. |

| Comfort for Children The Pasadena Neighborhood Group led by Joy DiCarlo stuffed bears and scottie dogs made from brightly printed fabric to give to the local law enforcement department. The officers give them to comfort children in stressful situations. |

| This Scottie dog is ready for a bow and eyes. The whimsical features are painted on for safety so there are no small pieces that may come off. |

| Santa Claus Inc. The Glendora Neighborhood Group made children's clothing, receiving blankets and quilts for the Santa Claus Inc. organization that gives to needy children. They are based out of San Bernardino and welcome any type of donation. |



Members share from their stash with each other and make the items for the children. Also donated are small travel sized shampoos, soaps for those who are removed from their home for various reasons. |
