About this time every year, the Library sets up a large Christmas tree in the foyer. But this is not your typical Christmas tree. It is decorated only with a few lights and a random hat or scarf. Then, almost if by magic, the hats and scarfs grow and multiply and some even turn into other things like mittens or socks. We soon have an abundance of snug winter clothing enveloping the tree. We harvest a few here and there, but the number keeps growing. But what to do with this fabulous bounty? The Library gives the wonderfully warming items to the Dove center who so lovingly provide a safe harbour to those in need. The comfy gloves and scarfs then find homes with those who need them.
I thought it would be fantastic if our service project we will be doing in conjunction with the December meeting became a part of that tradition, so we will be making fleece blankets to donate with the other items we recieve. I'm excited for this meeting and hope that you will make time in your busy holiday schedule for us!
See you December 16 @ 3pm!
Gloria
