Our group has been asked to help GSK’s Oncology team, which develops medicines for the nation’s cancer patients, in a unique give back to the community. The team will create knitted items for patients that will be distributed nationally by nonprofit Knots of Love. This will take place during a team event on May 12th in The Woodlands, TX.
They’re looking for 20-25 enthusiastic and experienced knitters to provide support during the event. You will assist participants in using Addi circular knitting machines to create unique items for cancer patients.
Your role will be to guide and assist table teams of 5 people to cast on their yarn, change colors and finish their item. If you’re experienced with circular knitting machines, that’s a bonus.
Preliminary Agenda:
2:00 PM Arrival at The Woodlands Resort Hilton; Introduction and Set-up
5:00 PM Giveback Round One
5:45 PM Giveback Round Two
6:45 PM Pack-up
7:15 PM Dinner
As a thank you for your time and expertise, you will receive $200 and dinner with the knitters. We’ll also be distributing some of the Addi machines to those helping us who want to continue to create hats for Knots for Love.
Available, experienced and interested? Please send an email to Kristine Jones at [email protected] by Tuesday, May 6. We’re excited to work together and make this a memorable event for a great cause!
