SEPTEMBER'S PROJECT- BOOKMARK MAKING WORKSHOP

 

This is the 3rd year that VLC has hosted a Bookmark Making Workshop for children visiting the Waukesha Library.  It is a thank you to the Library for running a  Community Book Drive for the VLC Children's Giving Library,  and a way for VLC to bring awareness to the community about our

Free Library at the Hope Center.  Children and their parents visiting the library on Saturday Oct. 28th stepped into the workshop in the rotunda to make a bookmark for them-selves and one to be shared at the VLC Children's Free Library at the Hope Center.  They worked with crayons,
markers, stickers, stencils, rubber stamps, foam cut outs, watercolors, yarn and ribbon.   Their creativity amazed  us all!  Thanks to the very special people who  stepped forward to share their time on Saturday.

AUGUST'S PROJECT - FOOD DRIVES FOR THE HARTLAND AND PEWAUKEE FOOD PANTRIES

 

We were worried with the cool summer that vacations would be planned for August...

worried that we would not be able to staff stores for the food pantries.  For  the first time

ever... we were right to worry!   The bad news...we were only able to  staff 1 volunteer on

each of the 3 shifts at the Hartland Piggly Wiggly, and  had only 1 shift at the Pewaukee Pick   

N Save.  The good news is that VLC volunteers knew the pantries were counting on them,    

and they worked hard on their own.  The pantries were grateful for their help and for the  

food and  $200.00 in cash donations was collected for them.  A very special thanks to the

amazing volunteers who shared 2 hours of time on Saturday August 27th.
