Customer Service Award:

Newborns In Need Central Ohio Chapter http://www.newbornsinneed.org/centralohio mdoty@bright.net You know, this is one of those rare occasions where we feel compelled to award a charity site - not only because it is a great charity, there are many of those, but because they offer (or mail to you in an exchange for a donation) these special patterns for preemies. These patterns are very hard to find. A charity in itself that deserves all the service awards there are, but this one also provides a product that is not readily available.
