BLANKETS CANADA Recently I have been asked if we are still knitting and crocheting squares for Blankets Canada. Yes we are and 2 weeks ago another 125 squares were delivered to Calgary. The store in High River is now closed so the finished squares have to be taken to Birchill Yarns in Avenida Mall, South Calgary. Unfortunately they did not have any donated yarn on hand but expect some in shortly. If any of our readers have any wool that needs a home I would be pleased to accept any donations, these will then be passed on to the busy knitters at the Vulcan lodge, who are doing such a fine job of sending squares. Summer is a time outdoor activities take preference over knitting or crocheting, but hope that we can continue the good work in the fall. Thank you again. Iris Gough The advertised Soup and Service at the United Church, in last month’s Canopener, will not be taking place until the fall. The starting date will be advertised later. Hope Lutheran Church will have NO services on Sunday July 13th and Sunday August 17th. FAMILY HAIRSTYLING R 599-2491 X MILO HOURS TUES-FRI 9:00-5:00 SAT 10:00-2:00 WED.
