Senior Craft Day
The Richmond Public Library will be holding a Senior Craft day the second Thursday of each month at the Richmond Community Building in conjunction with the Richmond Nutrition site held at the Community Building.
This month we made gnomes [there were some request for these]. During the craft we showed some other crafts we can make and everyone present voted on the crafts for the next three months.
Crafts will be on the second Thursday of the month at around noon. October 9th we will be painting gourd bird houses.
Want to join us for crafts? Just come on by, or better yet order a meal for that day and eat at the center and then join us for the craft.
