Some of the knitted teddy bears to be sent over to children in Africa are gathered in baskets and bags, brought by the volunteer knitters to a tea held Thursday afternoon in the Allie Griffin Art Gallery. Marnie Bernard organized the tea, and sent off all the knitted bears on Monday to her sister-in-law Gail Wolters in Ontario, to prepare for a trip by a team of Canadian nurses to Kenya at the end of April, where these bears will be given out to children in the villages they will be visiting.
