A group associated with RSVP, are called the "Love Bear Ladies." They have been making these bears for I don't know how many years. My friend, Sally, reports that they give away at least a thousand bears a year. The Love Bear Ladies give these to the Police Dept. and both of our local hospitals. They are given to children who are ill or are involved in stressful or traumatic situations.
Sally told me that the group has been short-handed because several members have been unable to work, so I volunteered to help out. It has been fun to give these plain little guys some personality.
Frank, the cat, thinks he is a bear, or wants to be a bear, or is vying for my undivided attention - the attention he usually enjoys. Or maybe it is all three!
Oh, and thanks to friend, Ginny, who proved on Friday that she really is a good friend. She came out on a 103 degree afternoon so that she could stuff bears!
