Blankets Blanket Form	"Catonsville" Blankets are sold throughout the year.  Before the winter holiday, order forms are distributed in the community through area schools and businesses.  Orders are filled as they are received as the school maintains stock in all the colors available.  Sales pick up again in the spring as the blankets make great Graduation gifts and Mother's Day gifts.  Help is needed with making copies of the order forms - as well as selling them at our school's concerts and play.
