JoAnne's Discount Cards

Project Linus National Office has worked out an agreement with JoAnne's for 10% discount cards for our volunteers. These are good through August 2010 for items used in the making of Project Linus blankets. Please keep in mind that items are NOT sales tax exempt. If you would like a card, please send a self addressed stamped envelope to:

I will also have these cards with me at the Fall Meeting on October 24th.
