We love our new satellite group at Coppell Senior Center! Thanks to Paula Feldman for planning the group's activities each week. Here is an article posted in this week's Coppell Gazette.
The Coppell Senior Center has announced its newest community group, the “Knit Wits”. The Knit Wits group was recently formed to provide an opportunity for Seniors interested in any of the fiber arts, such as knitting, crocheting, looming or sewing, to gather together and create their works of art in a fun and creative environment at the Coppell Senior and Community Center.
Many of the items made by group members, such as hats, booties, blankets and baby slings are donated to area babies in need, through the program, “Newborns in Need”. Newborns in Need is a national non-profit program established to provide basic necessities to sick, premature or needy newborn infants.
The Dallas area chapter was founded in 1999, and local volunteers provide baby items through the Parkland Health and Hospital System. The Coppell Senior Center Knit Wits are off to a great start, with members donating over 200 baby items to Newborns in Need, since the group’s creation in May 2014.
Anyone ages 50 and up, wishing to become involved with the Knit Wits group is invited to attend their weekly meeting, held Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. at the Coppell Senior and Community Center at Grapevine Springs. There is no fee to be involved in the group; however, participants must bring their own supplies.
