Meetup & Make Blankets
We have an exciting new partnership with a MeetUp group called Meet-2-Eat, organized by Edy DeGood. They meet twice a month, evenings and Saturday mornings, at our workshop to make “no-sew” fleece blankets, followed by an opportunity to go out together for a meal or beverage.
If you have wanted to make some blankets for MVOB but can’t get to our workshop on weekday mornings, these events are for you! New members of the group are always welcome.
This is a super easy and fun way to give to Ohio children in need. All you need to do is bring yourself and $10 (cash, check or credit card) and we will show you exactly what to do. One blanket can be completed in 40 to 45 minutes.
Next meetups: Tuesday, September 24, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Tuesday, October 15, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Saturday, October 26, 10:00 am - Noon
