Welcome A"Board"!
We're pleased to announce two new members to the Bundles of Love Board of Directors:
Beth Koskie is an avid knitter and crocheter who puts her talent to work for numerous charities. She first learned about Bundles of Love on the Internet and she began knitting and crocheting for us.
Beth’s career path has always centered around children or education and when she learned we were seeking a board member with her non-profit fundraising experience, she "responded to the call." We have already benefited immensely from her wisdom and experience and look forward to future success.
She and her husband, Clint, have 2 adult sons, and live in Minneapolis with a ShihTzu named Bailey, Beth's baby!
Lynn Milton saw a local newspaper notice for a Bundles of Love meeting in May 2001, and we’re happy to say she’s been helping the South Metro work group ever since. During that time, Lynn has attached hundreds – or even thousands – of snaps to infant sleepers, bibs, and jackets and she is now developing her sewing skills by helping to make infant clothing and quilts. Lynn has also recruited many family members, co-workers and friends to help with our efforts.
Lynn, who has been a manuscript editor at West Group in Eagan for 13 years, volunteered to fill our open Board of Directors Secretary position in 2002. She and her husband of 6 years, Paul, live in Rosemount and hope to have children of their own one day. In the meantime, Lynn, who loves to help others, enjoys knowing that she’s making a difference in the life of other children and their families.
When she’s not volunteering for Bundles of Love, Lynn loves to read - everything from true crime to modern romance – and even admits that she’s addicted to magazines at the grocery check-out!

Minneapolis Kiwanis Club Presentation
In November, I was invited to speak about Bundles of Love at the monthly lunch meeting of the Downtown Minneapolis Kiwanis club. The Kiwanis organization is "dedicated to serving the children of the world," and the value of the work of Bundles of Love was very much appreciated by the group. My presentation resulted in some personal donations as well as an offer to sponsor Bundles of Love in the grant application process of the Kiwanis Foundation in 2003.
