We are starting a new social club for our club members.  But wait it can be so much more than just a social club!  
 
Who is for: 
Knitters and Crocheters or other yarn enthusiasts!  If you’re a beginner, knitting clubs are a great place to learn things, discover tips and tricks and build your confidence.  They can be a space to meet like-minded knitters who will get excited with you when you’ve discovered a new yarn or worked your first cable. For seasoned knitting veterans knitting groups are a place to share your passion, show off your makes and you won’t be annoying anyone with the clicking of your needles! (Although we all know that’s a beautiful sound.)
 
What do we make:
Hats, scarves, socks, mittens, baby blankets, knitted knockers, or anything else we want!
What is the purpose: 
1- Knitting groups are a great way to meet new people or just to get to know others better.  Going to a place where you’ve all got something in common and can use the excuse of fiddling with a few stitches while you relax enough to get your chat on, is ideal.
2- A great way to serve our community!  We can donate the things we make to women’s shelters, homeless shelters, breast cancer patients, mental health patients, schools or any place that could benefit from the things we make.
3- Possible fundraising event.  We can sell the item we make to raise money for other worthwhile causes our club is involved in. 
How to participate: 
We could use an organizer to get this started.  I would be happy to jump into that role after June!
Any club member (family member) can join in making items.
You can donate yarn.
Find needs in the community that we could focus our projects and energies on.
Club Benefits:
Club Service-engaging members of our club to get involved in fun worthwhile events.
Community Service-create items that will benefit multiple members and organizations in our community
Vocational-teach kids in school, boys and girls clubs, and other like groups.
International-is there a need for items we can send to the orphanages or international programs we support?
 
IF WE CAN IMAGINE IT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IT!  GET INVOLVED TODAY!
