Students, staff de-stress with crafting event

By Jonah Unger Staff Writer

LCC hosted a “Chill Craft” service event during lunchtime on March 28. The event took place in the Cesar Chavez Learning Center in the Arts and Sciences building.

About 20 people showed up, ranging from students and student employees to LCC staff and faculty.

Music played while people worked on decorating bags. The bags will go to LCC’s west campus for the LCC Food Pantry. People also chose to work on “mini stars” as supplies were passed around.

Participants at the event also received free popcorn to snack on while they worked.

There were plenty of supplies to go around, including water paints. People who attended seemed to have a nice time as they worked on their projects.

“It was a nice event and a good way to de-stress for folks,” event coordinator Debra Coulsten-Kwapisz said.

The next crafting event will be held

Thursday, April 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Cesar Chavez Learning Center.

The craft event is meant for students and employees to release stress, as well as doing something positive for the LCC community.

“The goal of this crafting event … is really just to have fun,” said Amy Park, Arts and Sciences project coordinator.
