Knitting Club
The Knitting Club meets in the Moss Room on the Sandler Family Campus every Wednesday morning at 9:30am – 12:00 Noon. People can come and go during the morning and do not have to commit to the entire time to participate in this Club. Also, you can knit or crochet at home and bring in whatever you are working on. OR just drop your knitting off. This group is informal and a lot of fun! All items knitted go to clients of Jewish Family Service (JFS) in assisted living homes, hospitals or who have trouble making ends meet.
