NEWS FROM OUR 'SISTER' SATELLITE IN ARIZONA

A satellite group that began in 2007, in Wellton, Arizona, has continued to grow as well. Up until now, we have kept the Wellton statistics separate. They have been serving 26 new hospitals that we had not reported on this Website.  The Wellton volunteers are headed up by Sandy Sagert from British Columbia. That group has continued to produce Minutes of Gold layettes each winter season and is responsible for the hospitals listed below.  (Sandy also started a group in Canada but those are not listed here or included in these totals)  We are listing all of the hospitals now in order to give a true picture of the work that we have done.
