Houston Museum of Natural Science

The Houston Museum of Natural Science Volunteers wrote about The Common Thread Circle in their volunteer newspaper, The Dashing Diplodocus. They had kind words for The Common Thread Circle but focused on Rima because she also volunteers with HMNS.

Mayor Annise Parker recently recognized ten recipients of the Mayor’s Volunteer Houston Awards, chosen for contributing to the welfare of Houston citizens through volunteerism. One of the recipients was Rima Blanc, Chairperson of the Common Thread Circle of the United Methodist Women at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church, which was nominated by St. Luke’s Hospital and was selected from over 400 nominees citywide. The group sews, stitches, and knits items such as blankets, caps, and dolls, and contributes them to patients in over twenty hospitals in the Houston area. Rima is a Special Exhibits docent and a contributor to The Dashing Diplodocus. Congratulations, Rima!
