  Dear Liz,

  Ronda has expressed the need for a newer vehicle to transport squares and blankets. Helen Flagg has proposed to the US Group that we raise funds to help KAS purchase a car. The idea has gone global and there is an initiative on the forum about it. Check the latest ezine video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VK9mbUrGWI&feature=youtu.be

  Also, The Humble Stitch Project has offered to ship all squares, hats, sweaters, cuddles, toys, etc. received in Florida by Dec 15^th to South Africa for us for free.  Check out their offer and the address on the Forum in the US Group.

  Hope to see you there!

  Glad to have you with us Liz. Greetings from "the frozen North", ie. Canada.  Actually it warmed up today, only about 20F, the streets were all slushy...recently it's stayed at -30 or so....which is like -25F so this feels like Spring even if it won't be here for months.  You live in a beautiful area of the US, I hope you have lots of fun with the nifty knitters here on KAS. I'm a happy hooker myself (crochet).  Mum was a whiz at knitting, I'm a tad slow. This is such a positive cause, I love being able to really make a difference. :)

  Hi Liz!  Welcome to the forum!  If you go to the main forum page:  http://square-circle-forum.ning.com/ the postal address is listed towards the upper left, and just below that, in the middle, there are some helpful links for beginners =).  Feel free to ask questions;  there's always someone around to answer =).  There's all sorts of amazing, helpful information on the forum....but there's also A LOT of it, so I don't know how a person would start going through it all other than to find something interesting and jump in!

  Liz, Welcome to KAS! We are so glad you joined us. This is indeed a journey and you'll meet many wonderful people along the way to helping the children in South Africa. Check out the "New Member Guide" on the "Main Page" tab above. If your questions are not answered there, please contact me again and I'll try to answer them. All squares are sent to South Africa where the ladies of the Soweto Comfort Club sew them together into blankets. There are also mailing instructions and customs information as you must fill out a US customs form that you get at the post office. Debbie in suburban Philadelphia!
