Spreading the word 2012
Here's where we can post examples of people spreading the word both of KAS and of the children we seek to help. In the last three days, these blog posts have come into my inbox through Google Alerts. It is so amazing to see how people promote KAS and raise awareness all around the world.
Please let us know if you find something online, know of a church, community of school involved in promoting KAS and either post a link or a description of what they are doing, to help inspire the wider community to do more of the same.
Best way to spread the word and warm and comfort more children is by example. Here are the first three links. I hope there are HUNDREDS by the end of 2012.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to mention that my blog challenge is going strong and since I started in January, I have received and am sending 324 squares, 1 scarf, 3 sweaters, 1 Kascuddle, 63 hats, 1 poncho and 6 pairs of socks! So many wonderful people have responded to the KAS call, it is just fantastic!
I have a new post today in which I make an announcement that I would like to share with you. I hesitate at the risk of sounding pretentious. I am really not a salesperson, but here it is! I am persuing a dream of owning a yarn shop. For the moment it is just online. I have decided to give all the profits from the sale of three of my yarns to KAS! I would love it if you could spread the word. Thanks so much!

It's amazing how little things can come together. I was at a friends house watching a movie with her and brought the latest square I was making for KAS. Soon she was borrowing needles and yarn and knitting away too-- and I didn't know she could knit! Once she saw the KAS website and all the pictures of the kids, she had decided to devote her summer to helping me make squares. She also thought of a mutual friend who crotchets that she is going to recruit as well.

Step-by-step Elyse, you and all KasFolk are building a network of good hearted people - hopefully, before too long KAS disease will reach epidemic proportions!
