we have recently had a request from Children's Hope to request beanies for the babies in Mongolia. They said as being the second coldest country in the world, doctors recommend every baby to wear a knitted hat the minute they are born to maintain body heat much like the theory of NICU babies. They need a donation of 500-1,000 newborn sized hats so we are trying to collect this number from our members. As to date we have collected about 600 hats. We would need them to be mailed to our headquarters in Los Angeles by the week of March 11 as their container will be shipped out from US Port the week of March 25th. Apologetically they just recently reached out to us so the timeline is kind of tight. Our members will truly be "madly" knitting for this project. Any number of hats completed by our members will be so greatly appreciated.

Only thing is we also just received a message from Mongolia that the average Mongolian newborn babies heads are slightly bigger than the average baby, so they need the attached size. Please kindly see attached size.

A message from their organization to our members:
"I want your knitters to know how much impact one single hat will make for the babies in poverty here in Mongolia."

Please let us know if you will be interested in donating hats to this project. If you are, please email us at: info@madhatterknits.org

The members of MOMS Club® of Valparaiso, IN are well under way planning this year’s annual Easter Egg Hunt - an event children from across the county enjoy each year. In recent years the Egg Hunt has been enjoyed by over thousands of area kids and their families. We are asking for your support as we hold Valparaiso’s 24th year of The Egg Hunt.
