Give a Day help needed with sign up...(long)

[disneylove69]

I signed up with the main chapter which you can find by typing "walt disney,fl" as the zip. They only require one of any size with an enclosed photo of you doing it. Kids under 8 can make a card to attach with it to qualify. I did find a chapter in Costa Mesa, Ca (92626) which is also taking them. You can mail or deliver. Since I have friends there it makes it easier. If you do a fleece with them it can be an size within a range. It must have a colorful/playful print w/ a solid fleece back. They seemed to be excited to get them. It is sad that some do not want "to jump hoops." This is a great opportunity IMHO for organizations to get more and hopefully get long term support.

I also like the person who did the Princess print.

I don't think I have an account yet, since I can't seem to sign up anywhere. ?????? How do you get an account if you're not aleady in a program???

You can't sign up til you have been accepted to a program.
If you want to due Linus and mail your blanket I suggest the following:
1. enter (walt disney, fl) in the zip code.
2. scroll about 3 down to Linus- US only.
3. click "detail"
4. click "express interest"
5. Check your email and click on link (you can also download instructions)
6. follow sign-up instructions.

I found a local chapter that will work with me (well, El Paso, 85 miles away), and am all signed up! I also signed my DH up to do a fleece one. I hope it doesn't need to be double sided as we don't have a sewing machine. I usually crochet for Guideposts Knit for Kids sweater program, but I'm sure enjoying doing this blanket so will definately keep making blankets for Linus after the campaign. Thanks to everyone for all the info and help and I really think this is a great volunteer opportunity to GAD since it is so focused on helping kids. I actually reviewed my volunteer and charity things and realize I really focus on the kids. They just deserve the best to get to them on a good path.
