Knit with Love Luncheon and Knit-a-Thon
 The Women's Association is proud to present a Knit with Love Luncheon and Knit-a-Thon featuring author and knitter, Lisa Bogart, of the San Francisco Bay Area. Lisa will give a presentation at the Luncheon and be available to sign her newly published book, Knit with Love.
Funds raised from both of these events benefit the Goryeb Children's Hospital and the Emergency Department of Morristown Medical Center, specifically to provide essential wheelchairs needed for patient transport in both facilities. Items produced during the Knit with Love Knit-a-Thon will provide 300 pairs of baby booties to newborns through the WAMMC Babies Alumni, hundreds of knit squares to be combined into lap blankets for children in treatment at Morristown Medical Center, and many pairs of text gloves to be sold during the holidays at the WAMMC Gift Shops.
Online registration is available for both events. If you prefer to register the old fashioned way, you can use the official invitation and RVSP card (mailing instructions included).
At both events, copies of Knit with Love will be available for purchase for $12.99 (cash or check) with 20% of the proceeds donated to WAMMC.
