Measurable Outcome(s)

We held two craft workshops -- a handmade tote bags workshop led by Brenda Seidl and a jewelry-making workshop led by Lori Nusbaum. Brenda's workshop was multigenerational. We had elementary school-aged kids, working gals, and seniors all attend. Brenda had pre-cut the fabric so everyone could focus on their sewing. Lori show everyone how to make a simple necklace, with an interesting slide closure that people were very excited about learning. We had tremendous response to this program--many more than we anticipated.
