A chapter coordinator is the representative of Crocheting Hearts
in a given area, called a chapter. She is responsible for all
administrative duties pertaining to the chapter. These duties
include among other things, finding volunteers, establishing
relationships with recipient facilities, and Quality Control. It
is the policy and mission of Crocheting Hearts to donate NEW,
HANDMADE, WASHABLE (NO
wool yarn) blankets and afghans that are of good quality. It is
the responsibility of the Chapter Coordinator to donate blankets
to children that meet Crocheting Hearts standards.
9) New Crocheting Hearts chapters are only opened in areas where
there are no existing chapters. Please check with nearby
chapters to see which areas they cover, it might be yours!
10) All new applications must be approved by our committee. The
decision is based in part on area need and proximity to existing
chapters. In order to conserve resources,
we may choose to limit the number of new chapters opened.
