LIKCG GIVES BACK!

The LIKCG's Board was invited to a Newsday Charities event held on March 25, 2010 at the Long Island Children's Museum.

The guild donated the money collected from the charity yarn auction we had last year. At this event, we were informed about where the money goes, who receives it, etc. It was a wonderful event. Members of charity organizations came by to thank us for our donation. Below are a few photos taken from the event.

The LIKCG board discussed the information given at this event to our members at the April 8, 2010 guild meeting.
