I am SO excited! Tonight our amazing teen Community Club is having its monthly meeting and we will be making fashion scarves to donate to Bethany House, a local women's shelter. I would like to say that I knew it was International Women's Day the night that I decided to do this. But, I didn't. What I did know was that our Community Club teens would jump at the chance to do this. You see, this is our first year. It is a small group of dedicated teens that meet on the first Tuesday evening of every month to do good for others (and earn service credit). Starting in October, this generous group has made beautiful Cards for Hospitalized Kids. We've written letters to our troops and Veteran's through Operation Gratitude, and we held a bake sale to support Best Friends Animal Society. They've generously given of their time and have been most enthusiastic when we got to make something to give. They are a crafty and creative bunch! I am super excited to say that the scarves are a simple, DIY t-shirt craft that doesn't involve any sewing (perfect for me!). I cannot wait to see the amazingly creative work our group does. It's not everyday you get a group of teens with such a gift for giving. I cannot wait to see the finished product and deliver a little fun, fashion-flair to women in our community. Stay tuned for pictures of the creativity and the finished product.
