![[Hampton Roads American Sewing Guild]](/asg.gif)
Throughout the country, ASG has become synonymous with charitable acts of Sewing. The list below from National is a guide to many Community Service Projects you might like to sew. Please be aware that our projects might require different sizes to those in this list.
Community Service, although not a requirement by National, is a very rewarding expression of our love of sewing. Being able to give to our community by contributing to the quality of life of others in need, has become intrinsic to the Hampton Roads Chapter. This is done through a wide variety of projects, helping many hospitals, shelters and charity raffles.
A chapter can decide to do a chapter-wide project and/or neighborhood groups can initiate projects on their own.
Ladies, thank you for all the hard work you do for Community Service. The Community Service section of our Chapter is made possible only because of the caring and giving nature of our members. Please know that each of the items you so carefully make, are truly welcomed by the communities we serve.
I am but the numbers keeper, and the delivery person, you are the heart of the Community Service program.

Community Service Coordinator
Please pin, staple or affix firmly to items you turn in a note with your NAME, name of GROUP, NUMBER and KIND of ITEM, and DATE submitted. Often the items reported to me by e-mail are turned in well after the fact. This helps to avoid counting items twice, or being unable to determine who made them.

"The Painted Turtle Camp is the 6th addition to the Paul Newman family of Hole In The Wall Camps for seriously ill children. It is the only multi-disease camp and family care center of its kind on the West Coast. Through educational, therapeutic, safe and just plain fun summer camp and year-round programs, The Painted Turtle Camp provides a life-changing experience to children whose daily struggles often diminish their desire and their ability to lead a rich, productive life. To learn more about The Painted Turtle visit www.thepaintedturtle.org."
