   (Sharon and Chuck would love it if you'd send them
                                               knitted or crocheted warm shawls or afghans for their
                                               visitors to use.  It gets VERY cold up there)

 Cyndy's Tiny Tootsies & Steven's Comfy Toes 

   Steven's Comfy Toes/Cyndy's Tiny Tootsies provides slippers to children ages birth
 to 12 years in the White Pine County Area of Nevada. A lot of children come down
 sick because of cold feet. Comfy Toes and Tootsies hopes to help keep the feet warm
 of children whose families may not have the funds to get slippers to keep the children's
 feet warm on cold winter days and nights. We will be accepting knitted or crocheted
 slippers for the children year round and will give them out to the children in
 December and other times during the winter as needed.

   We are now also accepting Hats and Mittens to keep them warm outside
  along with the slippers for inside.  Use your knitting or crocheting
  talents to help others.  Get Phentex Slipper & Craft yarn here.
