Letter from President Biden
This is an update about the ongoing #100Hats project.  In 2020, the #100Hats project donated around 100 hats to local charities. The project was also involved with the President's Volunteer Service Award Program at the University of Louisville. Every hour that was spent making and distributing the hats counted towards the volunteer service award.  The number of hours donated was over 250 hours!  President Biden honored the #100Hats Project and Amy Shah with a letter, certificate and pin. Wow!  LVL1 members, the #100Hats project is an award winning project! Thanks to the Awesome Foundation, Wonderful donors of time, money and yarn, and, of course,  LVL1 members for  making  all  this  possible.
