  1. I would like to get a newsletter to continue to learn and be updated on what is accomplished and future goals. I believe this is a great idea. I have many friends that update or recycle their clothes. Also, I know of a fabric quilt shop that collects and recycles for many organizations in Atlanta and surrounding areas.

    Thank you,
