| 摘要： | The last of more than 11,000 knitted and crocheted hats and scarves will be packed up with hand-made Christmas cards within the next week as part of the "Christmas on the River" portion of Seamen's Church Institute's annual Christmas at Sea event. Within the past five years, the number of handmade knitted and crocheted items has more than doubled, said Joanne Bartosik, who oversees the program for SCI. The boxes will be shipped to tow-boat companies and sent along during crew changes so that they will arrive in time for those spending Christmas working on the river system. Bartosik praised volunteers who have spent hours taping, labeling and stuffing the boxes. Those included 60 students and faculty at San Jacinto Maritime Academy in La Porte, Texas, who packed 4,300 knits and crochets in one day before 16 pizzas arrived. Bartosik sent 9,000 hats and scarves to Paducah, Ky; Houston, Texas; Gallipolis, Ohio; Vicksburg, Miss.; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Daphne, Ala., for packing. |
