Former and current VCH Public Health staff pulled in a great haul for local charities through donating their incredible homemade crafts. Jill Bert, Eduarda Donovan, Tamsin Morgana, Linda Poirier, Winnie Price, Margot Smythe, Rob Stewart, Lee Tidmarsh, Hannah Varto and I knitted, sewed, glued and folded our way to raise nearly $800. The funds raised were donated to the Pacific Post-Partum Support Society of BC, Frontier Animal Society, S.A.I.NT. (Senior Animals In Need Today), ACT BC (Autism Community Training) and the Children’s Heart Network of BC.
We thank everyone so much who contributed their work and especially those who bought it! It was fabulous to have a real KS (Knitting Star), Hannah Varto, join the usual suspects this year with her stylish and useful array of woven (and sewn) art, as well as Jill Bert, paper crafter extraordinaire.
Crafts for Causes 2013 will take place from noon to 13h30 in the Epi Centre meeting room on the 8th floor of 601 West Broadway on Thursday, November 21st, 2013. Save the date now!
