The Social Action Committee 
of Congregation B’nai Moshe 
sponsored its Fleece & Thank 
You event on Jan. 29. It was a 
huge success as 45 volunteers 
showed up to assemble 26 
blankets that were donated to 
children on extended hospital 
stays. 
Nearly $800 was raised, 
which covered the cost of 
these blanket kits. 
Stacey Whelan, who 

chaired the event, was 
ecstatic at the outpouring of 
donations and volunteers who 
made this dream a reality.
Videos were made of the 
people making the blankets, 
which were sent to Fleece & 
Thank You to be viewed by 
the recipients of each blanket. 
It was a wonderful event 
as B’nai Moshe continues its 
quest of tikkun olam, repairing 
the world.
