We collected donations for Rock Springs Animal Control to help with the recent influx of surrendered animals (23 in one day) including: The club also inducted three new members! Please welcome Storm Adcock, Brenda Roosa, and Lynn Young to our organization!
Our Busy Hands Sections spent a recent meeting helping the White Mountain Library with their Seed Library, but packaging seeds envelopes and their corresponding information sheets! Join us at the next busy hands meeting to help contribute to this and other important local causes!
Members enjoyed themselves socializing at the annual Christmas party at the Boar’s Tusk Steakhouse in Rock Springs. Club members also exchanged gifts and brought donations of food for the local soup kitchen and toys and books for the local Stuff the Bus program, as a final bit of giving back to cap off the holiday season. We’ll see everyone next year!
