Be The Difference You Want To See!

We all have ideas, ideals, dreams, of how we would like to change the world - make it a better place. We tend to believe that as one individual we can't do much. But - we can make a huge difference right where we are - where life finds us and the difference we make can inspire others to do the same and then it grows and becomes bigger than life - larger than our one life and like a huge snowball it will grow and grow long after we are there to push it down the hill. Share your ideas, links, the differences you see, with us here and we can all spread the difference and thereby Be the Difference!!!

Binky Patrol - Making Blankets for Children

Binky Patrol in South Carolina

In late February, I came across a wonderful group and I knew I had to join as soon as I saw it.  Their tag line is "We make blankets and give them away to children in need of comfort. It's as simple as that."  I was so excited to find there was a need for a chapter in South Carolina and so I applied to start a chapter here in West Columbia, SC!!!  How exciting - but no matter where you are, you can help by going to their web site at http://www.binkypatrol.org

Check out what we are doing here in West Columbia, South Carolina on our Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Binky-Patrol-South-Carolina/353948326581?ref=mf

Even if you don't sew or have never made a think - you can help this group.  The wonderful thing about working with a chapter in your area is that you get to decide where your donations go and work with groups where you know there is a need.  Short of starting my own non-profit, this is the most exciting thing I have found.  This way there are others in charge who know all about what to do and how to do it and all we have to do is follow their lead and find the need.  Here in South Carolina we are starting with a battered women's shelter where children are displaced and have been through some pretty rough times.  I just can't wait to make my first delivery!!!  Check it out and you might find this is a wonderful match for you or someone you know.  They also take donations to the national organization!
