Mary Reardon, Project Linus
Coordinator for Nassau, visited the
NICU in late May to donate more than
50 blankets and knit caps for
Winthrop's littlest patients. The chapter
works to ensure that every Nassau
children's organization and pediatric
unit has the opportunity to receive
these special blankets for distribution.
"Cranking out the blankets as fast
as possible, our volunteers--many of
whom have personal experiences
behind their reasons for helping--are
so grateful to be able do this for the
children," said Mrs. Reardon, who
noted it takes about a month to make
each gift. "The women feel good about
lending a hand because they know
they are creating something that the
children will hold on to."
"We really appreciate the organization's
heartfelt generosity," said
Sally Breslin, RN, Nurse Manager.
"These beautifully made blankets provide
much needed comfort and
security for each child. Of all the
items received during their child's
stay, the parents save these gifts as
keepsakes since it was with the baby
from day one."

opportunities with Project
Linus, contact Mrs. Reardon at (516)
