Global Baby Steps sold dozens of handmade clothing items Saturday, Aug. 13, at the annual Rotary-sponsored Lititz Craft Show. When people were not buying they were expressing interest in and support for the GBS mission.
It was the first appearance at the popular craft show for GBS and volunteers expressed excitement about the day.
“We had what we feel was a pretty successful day,” said GBS founder Robyn Talley. “We met a lot of great people. We appreciate all the encouraging feedback, and we want to thank the Rotary Club for all they did for us.”
Artisians’ Porchwalk in Lititz, Pa., up next for GBS
Moravian Avenue in Lititz will be home to the Global Baby Steps tent for two days in October during the 13th annual Artisans’ Porchwalk. GBS will join juried artists and craftsmen who will be scattered around historic Lititz, showing and selling their wares Friday, Oct. 7, and Saturday, Oct. 8. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days and will be held rain or shine. Admission is free.
Knitted baby clothes, blankets, women’s hats and scarves, children’s hats, teddy bear hats and scarves, and Barbie clothes will be on sale. As always, 100 percent of the proceeds from sales goes to the cause of helping women in under served areas survive pregnancy.
GBS Makes Second Appearance at Businesses That Care Expo
For the second consecutive year, Global Baby Steps manned a booth at the Lancaster Hempfield Rotary Club’s Businesses That Care Expo in May at the Farm and Home Center in Lancaster, Pa., (click on the link under Recent Posts at the right to see the video). And for the second consecutive year, Reinzel Kuntz Lesher, certified public accounts and consultants, Lancaster, sponsored Global Baby Steps’ booth.
Forty six non-profit organizations from the area participated in the day-long event. And although GBS was not among the 6 non-profits to win a cash prize at the end of the day, it was an excellent opportunity for GBS to spread the word about its mission and recruit volunteers.
