Such wonderful people at Baylor

Vivian, Lena, Joyce and Jan went to the Baylor Regional Medical Center today, Thursday, April 24. What a wonderful place and the people are sooooo nice. We met Gigi Steele, who is a retired nurse who volunteers her time at the cancer unit. What a wonderful person. She's the kind of nurse that you would look forward to seeing come into your room if you were in the hospital. She would just brighten your day. And Robin Jacks is in charge of Guest Services. When she saw us, her eyes lit up. She told us how everyone just loves our caps and is all the talk around the chemo center. She is such a nice person, really friendly. We were so happy to be there. We took 50 caps for them to give to patients this time. The caps will last them a little while until we can get more caps made. We sat with Gigi for quite awhile (her day off from volunteering) and had such a good time with serious talk, fun talk and girl talk! The thing that we didn't expect out of our project is all the wonderful people that we are meeting along the way. It seems as if everyone that works there is nice. We didn't get to meet all of them but, if Robin and Gigi are examples of the staff that works there, we are impressed.

There are many nice people in the world, aren't there?

Eva and Luisa

Eva was so moved when she saw people with the caps that she wanted to learn to crochet. Loisa taught her and she completed caps within the first week. Here she is learning to crochet.

Baylor Cancer Center

We started to deliver caps to Baylor about a month ago and they are being well received! I've gotten calls from Gigi, the volunteer at Baylor. She called to tell me how happy the caps are making people. Next week she is going to take pictures and send them to us. The pictures will be of people with our caps. This is a picture of the first time our group delivered caps to Baylor. We're bringing a bunch of caps there tomorrow, April 24th.

More knitters and crocheters

Wow! We have more knitters and crocheters! Carolyn from Wylie came by yesterday, bringing us three caps that she made. She was worried about her seams. She thought that they didn't look good. I looked at the caps and said "What seams?" They were great seams, better than mine. You could actually turn the cap inside out without seeing the seam. We welcome Carolyn to our group!
Our caps are looking very springy! Barbara Overall brought some darling caps in. They actually have a fancy border around them.
Rose is our newest 'new' knitter. By that I mean that she's not only new to the center but she hasn't knit in years. Her goal is to be able to knit and talk at the same time! We get quite a kick out of her.

Visit to Baylor Medical Center

Vivian, Lena and Joyce went to Baylor to deliver our first batch of caps to them. The center was very acceptive of the caps and was so excited to know that we will be delivering more caps to them.
