There will be a group get together to crochet and knit scarves for this year’s Special Olympics Scarf Project. The group will be meeting February 2nd and individuals of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. For all individuals interested, please contact CDR Aimee Young at alyoung@anthc.org, LT Kristin Allmaras at KAllmaras@SouthcentralFoundation.com or CDR Shelly Inda at sainda@anthc.org for additional information and specifics regarding the event time and location. The 1st event was very successful as over 10 items were completed in the couple hours spent together.
CDR Shelly Inda (located in Eagle River) will be hosting the 2nd get together! J
*We received a very generous yarn donation, if you would like a few skeins of yarn, please contact LT Kristin Allmaras*
