HEARTFELT THANKS & APPRECIATION

IN THE NEWS

The Northbrook Senior Center Knitting and Crocheting Group was featured in the Northbrook Herald for their homemade gifts of warmth and comfort that makes an impact in the community. Most recently, the knitters and crocheters created a colorful array of hats, mittens, and scarves that they donated to Senator Julie Morrison’s donation drive to help keep kids in foster care warm this winter. Senator Morrison personally thanked the group and presented them with a Certificate of Recognition for their generous donation of handmade items.

IN REMEMBRANCE…
