Dear Group Member,

As you are aware, we have been raising funds for our **name of project** and are planning to do a rags-to-bags fundraiser.  What that involves is: 
	Collecting donated cloth items (list below)
	Cutting and sewing the bags
	Selling the completed bags for our profit

Please call **organizer** at **phone number** to discuss how you’d like to participate in this effort!  We expect to have a great time doing it!

You can see the detailed bag-making instructions at www.rags-to-bags.com and find out more about our plans.

We’ll be collecting old, outdated, stained and/or ill fitting, but otherwise perfectly good:
	Clothing – teens or adult-size t-shirts, dress shirts, jeans and slacks
	Tablecloths, curtains, sheets or pillowcases
	Fabric scraps and yard goods 

We appreciate your support of and participation in our efforts, and thank you in advance for your generous donations, too!

Thank you,
