The Check is in the Mail

Thanks to your response to last week's pattern sale for tornado relief, the check is in the mail (metaphorically speaking).

Every cent earned through that sale (plus a bit extra) has been donated to the Dayton Foundation, a solid regional organization that has created a centralized fund designated specifically for tornado relief. I chose this option because it helps ensure funds stay local and are disbursed more rapidly to those who need them.

It's been almost two weeks since Memorial Day, when the Miami Valley was hit by a record-breaking 15 tornadoes. A series of subsequent storms have continued to hamper efforts, but power and water service has been restored to most areas and cleanup is underway.

Rebuilding and recovery are going to take a very long time, but thanks to you and people like you, that process will be faster and easier than it would be without your support. I'm grateful for many things, including generous knitters like you. Thank you!
