Olympia women
make blankets for IndiansOLYMPIA, Washington—The Olympia Women’s Ministry has been busy crocheting 9 x 7 blanket pieces since January 1999.
Bonnie Petty, coordinator of the Warm Up America blanket project, has boxed them up and mailed them to Indians in the Oglala Sioux tribe in Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
Bonnie contacted Roslyn Jumping Bull in Oglala to determine the people with the most need. Jeannie Walker and Janette Wolfembarger crocheted most of the blankets, though others also helped.
"This is an ongoing project," said Bonnie, and next winter our goal is to present the blankets to the individual personally for the opportunity to disciple them. Brenda Peterson.
