The guild always encourages its members to reach out to the community around us, year round and in as many ways as we each can. In this case, it's a chance for us to show our strengths en masse and help a really great cause. We'll be keeping members of our community stay warm and have something to treasure during a truly difficult time in their lives. Every item we make and give will not only chase away the chill, but show that person that there are people who care with a solid object that they can hold on to. So not only will we be showing our strength, but lending a lasting bit of it to each recipient, too. Sounds awesome, right?
This winter, rather than a gift exchange among members as we've done in years past, the guild will instead be participating in a more community-centric project. We'll be knitting, crocheting, weaving, or otherwise crafting items to donate as a group to Evergreen Manor.

Winter. Emergencies. Holidays. The zombie apocalypse. It's that time of year again, where more than ever we all start acting a little squirrely. Socking away extra hats for imminent bad weather. Gathering up ample wool to while away the longer and cooler nights indoors, crafting peacefully by the hearth (or the flatscreen). We prepare for all sorts of different things, at all times of the year, but as it gets darker earlier, cooler sooner, and eventually as the sun just barely manages to show up to work at all, it seems like there are just more things we need to be ready for. |
