• Stitching for Sanity - Here’s your chance to put your needles to work for sanity, and charity too if you wish! Some of our folks who love to knit and crochet, and have a variety of scraps of yarn, have come up with a swell idea to provide a service, have some fun together, and make good use of those scraps.

• Art Open Studio - bring your own art supplies; tables, chairs furnished. We help each other by sharing tips, ideas and information, and engage in positive, encouraging critique for those who appreciate the input of others.
