Piggy Bank Bazaar

A Craft Fair for Children

 

Hello Everyone,

Summer is here, and a big question that arises is: “What shall I do first?” Hmm……sit back, relax, unwind, regroup, reflect, (sounds good). Then……there is the yardwork, gardening, cleaning the pool, painting, repairs, and all the rest of the summer to-do-list, (yea, ok). OR…..take time out for an Adventure or two, (now we’re talking)!!!

Whether it be into a book, fishing on a lake, learning something new, visiting family & friends, or taking a flight to another land. Whatever you choose, enjoy your time and have fun!

The Wednesday Morning Workshop will meet 3 times this month, June 4th, 11th, and 18th, before taking a break for the summer and resuming back here in September. We meet in rooms 13 and 15, 9:30am to 11:30am in the Education Center. There are a number of volunteers who knit, sew, create kits and complete kits over the summer at home for us. If you think you would like a crafty kit to do, send an email to Carol Ray (jimcarolray@verizon.net)

Also, now is a good time to look around your home, the stores, or online for crafty ideas or donation items to make really neat gifts. We work on 100 different craft ideas each year. Who knows, you may find a few of the items we definitely need for our Crafting Cupboard. That being said, here are a few of the items we are in need of: polyester fiberfill stuffing, sharp cloth cutting scissors, floral foam, silk flowers & leaves, basket grass, felt (red, green and white), various size sea shells, pompoms, Christmas holiday ribbon (thin, medium widths, and the larger wire lined variety), acrylic craft paints, paint brushes, and colorful sheets of rhinestones. All donations can be dropped off in room 15. Many thanks.

The 49th Annual Piggy Bank Bazaar is Saturday, December 6th, 2025!
