Hello August!
Thanks to the Committee, “The Gathering Nook” is taking on a much needed
refreshing look! The holes in the ceiling have now been replaced with new
ceiling tiles, the carpeting has been cleaned and there has been new linoleum
purchased to be installed in the bathroom. We have hopes of having the brand
new television that was donated a year ago up and running along with some
movies and freshly popped popcorn. Now what we need is you!
The ladies have been having a great time together making cards, painting and
of course socializing while sharing their talents with others. Moving forward,
the plan is to be making craft items that can be displayed and sold as part of
our fundraisers.
We are still in need of community people with a caring heart to become part
“of the family” and join us in helping others. You let us know what you enjoy
and how you’d like to help out, we’ll welcome you with open arms!
