Greetings from Lincoln! I’ve been lurking for awhile now and thought it might be time to introduce myself.
The Aker house has been a busy place this week as packages have been coming in the mail, left on our doorstep, hung on the front door, all in preparation for the 2008 Hawkeye Donation to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics NICU and Pediatric ICU that is scheduled for Friday morning August 29, 2008. The donation of Hawkeye themed Hats, Booties and Blankets is timed to coincide with the first home football game of the season that will take place Saturday. As usual, The Preemie Project volunteers have come through with flying colors. There have been alot of very busy knitting needles, crochet hooks and sewing machines. I thought I would share with you a few pictures of the fabulous work you all do.
I am posting the following message on behalf of Jane Fredericks, our Fundraising Committee Chair:
Hi - I work with Linda Aker, so I can remember hearing about the Preemie Project from the very beginning. It is just amazing to see how large the group has grown and how many babies and families have been touched by all the volunteer work done by this group. My eyes always well up when I read a thank-you that has been posted. I got excited about joining this group a couple of years ago and had fun knitting and crocheting baby items. Then, I had my own son and have had little time for crafting since them. But, as my little boy nears his 2nd birthday and plays on his own for short spurts of time, I’m trying to sneak off to my sewing room and get some small projects done.
