and 35 miscellaneous items donated and 81 volunteer hours recorded. Also
there was a $240 monetary donation.  If you're wondering what some of the

scarves, mittens, pocket pet pouches, beaded necklaces, beaded bracelets,
beaded Christmas ornaments, pot holders and place mats. The miscellaneous
items were food items, beads for craft projects, books, and frozen dinners.
The volunteer hours were   website work, class preparation, and teaching,
