Crocheters and Knitters

You can crochet/knit hats for our hat giveaway basket or you can start early and work on dish clothes for this year's Christmas baskets. Yarn for these will be provided. Don't know how to crochet we will be happy to teach you. The first meeting will be Wed. March 24 at 6:30. Future dates to be determined by the group. This should be a great opportunity to meet with friends old and new while creating and sharing ideas.

Please help us by donating a small bag of dog or cat food.  Make a donation and receive a free bookmark created by heART.  Donations may be dropped off at Peck Memorial Library during our opening hours. If you cannot bring in a bag of food you may feed dogs and cats by going to this website www.freekibble.com.

      As of  3/18/2010, the SPCA food drive sponsored by heART has delivered over 100 lbs of pet food. If you haven't had a chance to donate, the drive will continue until April 1. Let's see if we can double that amount. Remember for every bag you bring in you get a book marker created by heART. If you can't donate food this way you can go to freekibble.com and play their trivia games. They will donate food every time you play and it only takes a minute of your time. Thanks from the members of heART and all the dogs and cats.
