[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday

[Tammy Freitag]

Yes, I try to help people in my community through two means.  I am
part of my church's Mission team.  We collect items for an
organization that feeds the homeless.  During the cold months, we
collect hats, scarves and gloves for this organization.  Some of the
scarves have been made by a few of us.  We enjoy making the items and
really like giving them to people that need a little help keeping
warm.  I am in the Lions club too.  We have a raffle and an auction
each year.  Craft items can be made and used in either of these fund
raisers. That is just a couple of ideas.
Take care!
