Also, they were kind enough to send out a thank you to us on their website.  We are on their home page and if you click the link, they have shared a link to our blog here so others can see all the updates and progress as our hat drive went on.

SMC in the Frederick News Post

Hey Everyone!
The Frederick News Post put our picture in the paper with a blurb about our 700 hats.  Here's an image of it from the Community News Section if you didn't get Sunday's edition.

Facebook Page

Hello everyone!
So I was thinking of another, easier way to keep you guys informed and up-to-date and I decided to start a South Mountain Crocheters Facebook page.  I figure this would be an easier way to share projects and updates.  Feel free to post messages and share pictures of your projects.  This will be a great place to post questions and information on events.  If you have a facebook id look us up.  Just type South Mountain Crocheters in the search field and we should pop right up!  I have placed some photos and a couple of updates on there.  I hope you enjoy!

YOU DID IT SMC!!!!

I am thrilled to report that at Tuesday night's meeting our grand total for our hat drive was . . . . . . wait for it . . . .  drum roll please . . . . .  . 700 HATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are all amazing!!!  I want to send out a special thank you to Colonial Jewelers, Uno's, Two Rivers Yarns, the Frederick and the Brunswick Senior Centers, and our friends in Laurel MD that made hats for us.  And I want to say THANK YOU to all of you, the members of SMC.  You all made my crazy goal of 500 handmade hats a reality and blew me away with your generosity and willingness to go above and beyond.  Here are a few pictures from Tuesday and our new Goal Chart.

The hats I counted out Monday night before the meeting.  There are 559 hats here.

SOOO Close!!!!

Here's an update on our Hat Drive.  I have made the rounds at some of our drop off locations.  We have another 52 Hats! 
 

Also I heard from Two Rivers Yarns today and she said that the Brunswick Senior Center has been making hats for us and estimate they have close to 100 hats to donate.  She doesn't have them yet but as soon as they drop them off I will go get them and let you know what we got.  We are so unbelievably close!! We are at 390 right now!  If the Brunswick group has 100 hats we will be within 10 of our goal.

At our October meeting I am going to bring some thank you cards.  I will have them available for everyone to sign and I will be sending a group picture with each card to the places that helped us collect hats and also made hats for us.
