We welcomed many visitors, including our Challenge Sponsors, Dianne from Honey Bee Quilt Store and Pat from Bluebonnet Yarn Shoppe, several of our Recipient Facilies, KEYE News and the Williamson County Sun.

Our Commander In Chief
The Linus Connection would not exist without Stephanie Sabatini, and that's a fact! She is the tireless mind behind our existence. Congratulations to Stephanie on 5 wonderful years of providing comfort to children through blankets!
Workday
It's never all play for The Linus Connection! We still had blankets to sort - an astonishing 430 were turned in, a record for us! There were also labels to sew and blankets to fold! We welcomed a group of Camp Fire Girls and had some of our regular younger volunteers with us.
