    Description

    6/29 Bink-A-Thon - Monroe/Trumbull, CT

    Please join Binky Patrol Monroe/Connecticut as we meet to make fleece tie blankets to show kids they matter. This will be our only planned summer event, so let's make it a good one.. Blankets are the fleece-tied type, and we will provide fleece. We are very appreciative of the following organizations for sponsoring this event plus the April one - Monroe Rotary Club, Trumbull Rotary Club, M&T Bank, Aquarion Water Company, and the Gladstone Piccorello Foundation.

    Bring your open heart to help us make blankets to give to these kids as a reminder that they are not invisible or forgotten and that they matter!

    ALL ages are welcome. Children/teens need to have one adult per 4 children. This does count for community service hours through schools, service orgs and the court system.

    You do not need to be crafty. You need a warm heart, a pair of sharp scissors and that's it! If you want to help in other ways, feel free to contact Jeanne Malgioglio - ctbinky@binkypatrol.org
