Clublicity: The Crochet Club

by Riley Firenze

The Crochet Club is an exciting new club that was created for Newfield students just last spring! It is a charity-based club for all students looking to give back to the community. They are a popular club that has over 100 members. The Crochet Club makes everything from blankets to stuffed animals that are all donated to Stony Brook Hospital. Their main priority is to make baby hats for newborn babies in the maternity ward. They are advised by Mrs. Hassett and Mr. Rennard along with a cabinet consisting of Saitta Roy, Ashleigh Murray, Brianna Carlson, Riley Firenze, and Sara Saima. They even have a mascot, Baby James, to help accurately size the hats. In the few weeks they existed last year, the Crochet Club was able to make 77 baby hats!

You may be asking, who can join? Everyone! The president and founder, Saitta Roy says "The Crochet Club welcomes all students! Even if they cannot crochet, because we teach them. " Crocheting is easy to learn, and anyone can do it!

The main reason The Crochet Club has been able to do what they do is because of generous donations from community members, and organizations. Last year they received donations from Wool and the Gang Ltd, The Selden Fire Department, as well as Middle Country's own Mrs. Grillo. Going into this new year, The Crochet Club has grown in size and is looking for any donations that the community is able to give. They accept monetary donations, as well as yarn and hook donations.
