In an effort lead by the firm's very own database administrator, Bobbi Dodd, several Hawley Troxell employees together with friends and family worked the evening of November 13 and all day Saturday, November 14 to create 32 flannel rag quilts for Project Linus.   It took over 200 hours of volunteer time to create these quilts.  Project Linus is an organization whose mission is "to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade, blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer blanketeers." http://www.linusidaho.org/ .  Each year Bobbi chooses an organization to quilt for and the firm provides the financial support to purchase the necessary fabric, the people needed for the effort, the space for the massive sewing operation, and the food to keep the volunteers going.
