    "The Musketeers"

    "Fighting cancer one needle at a time!"

    The Monroe Center Musketeers, a sewing group for the Cancer Connection, have an overabundance of lined blue pads. These pads have hand-sewn, soft cotton material on the skin-facing side, with no stitches showing to avoid chafing of skin. If you or someone you know could use these please let us know. They work great for protecting seats, cars, and beds from leakage.
