Creating From The Heart By Dayna M. Reidenouer
The crafters of Woodcrest Villa spend a lot of time in stitches, of both the sewing and laughing varieties. “We don’t only work, but we enjoy what we’re doing. We laugh and talk,” said Hilma Mumma. “And support each other,” added Kathy Denlinger. “Not only in the work we do, but also in the benevolent fund for Mennonite Communities.” The members of the crafters group meet year-round on Friday mornings in the craft room on the top floor of the VIVA Centre on Woodcrest Villa’s campus. Using a variety of donated materials and having voted on what to make, the volunteers form hundreds of whimsical and practical items that they sell in the craft room and at the craft event they have hosted for the past few years to support the benevolent fund.
“(Even though we laugh a lot), we’re serious about our cause,” said crafter Anne Fessenden. “A fair amount of the residents have used up all their funds, and they’re supported by the benevolent fund.” The community is invited to support the fund by purchasing the group’s crafts and other items at the third annual craft event that will be held on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the VIVA Centre’s Gamber Auditorium, 1520 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster. The crafters will sell walker bags, fall and holiday décor, ornaments, wreaths, small cloth Christmas trees, decorative serving plates, gift card envelopes, gift bags, and more. Staff members, residents, and their relatives will also take part in the craft event. They are expected to offer jewelry, doll clothes, knitwear, pillows, See Woodcrest Villa pg 6
