Part of the mission includes delivery of at least 100 hand-made backpacks, assembled by area residents for gifts to the children.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/11march\/bagladies.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Shelley Gunther, Samantha Kellogg, Carol Keyes and Cindy Knight complete the assembly of 15 backpacks. In background is Sharon Hunt trimming material.<\/em><br \/>\nAt last count, the effort was closing in on the goal of 100 backpacks, when 17 members of Sparrow Clinton Hospital Auxiliary joined the undertaking by spending an evening sewing and piecing fabric together. A force of three sewing machines and many nimble fingers completed the assembly of 15 backpacks in a matter of a little over three hours, based on instructions and design provided by the group making the trip.<br \/>\nThe sewing bee was coordinated by Auxiliary co-president Shelley Gunther who suggested the project to members. \u201cThis was something that not only fell within the Auxiliary\u2019s slate of activities,\u201d Ms Gunther said, \u201cbut it was also a community endeavor. Members of the hospital staff were part of the mission and our members felt committed to the purpose.\u201d<br \/>\nAll fabric, thread and materials were contributed by individual Auxiliary members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cusco, Peru on March 23rd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
