recent Programs/Events
November "Cards and Cans" community outreach
Our November club "come and go" event generated over 100 handmade cards by club members. Some stopped by to create, others stopped by to drop off. Tables were set up and hosted by Board members to get the creative process flowing. Cards will be delivered to a local assisted living/memory care facility. We also collected cans and packaged food items for a local food bank.
It was nice to see members in person even though their smiling faces were behind the required masks, at least until they were enjoying the wonderful goodies from the snack table. Then the masks were lifted and the food inserted! A huge thank you and virtual hugs to all who contributed.
Member Holiday Tea
Our annual December get-together was at the wonderful Heard-Craig Center for the Arts, or as we call it... The Heard-Craig House. Due to Covid concerns, we had a much smaller group than in past years, but we still had a good time.
Unlike in years past, this year we went with a "Holiday Tea" catered by the Heard-Craig. Their teas are so well presented and the food is always delicious. It's so nice to get pampered.
Members attending brought artwork (of all kinds) for the silent auction and a handmade ornament for the ornament exchange... both an annual tradition.
