Needlework bound for orphanage
KIDS NEED WARMTH—Debbie Charton, left, owner of Pearl’s Knitting Parlor, is participating in a mission with the Christian Church of Thousand Oaks. In January, they’re going to Kenya, and one stop will be at an orphanage where babies and toddlers have been abandoned because they have AIDS. Charton hopes to collect donations of knitted or crocheted sweaters, booties or blankets by Jan. 1. Completed items or squares can be dropped off at the parlor, 2993 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd.
