Chapter Challenge: Be A Star
Teacher: Laurie Capponi
September's program is a challenge! Not that it will be difficult, this chapter challenge will be a fun way of using our Outreach to help our community.
This month we will design, stitch, and finish a handmade felt star to be donated to the Golisano Children’s Hospital. Let's share our stitching talents to bring comfort and joy to local children and their families!
