Let’s Create Art: Card-Making-REDMOND

**This one is at Backporch in Redmond. It’s a great space! No paint. We’re respecting the business’s wishes please. We can stay longer if we want. Bonta Gelato shares a lobby if you want ice cream!

Let’s make some cards that matter. So excited to team up with the Council on Aging of Central Oregon!

We’ll be making cards for local seniors experiencing social isolation. Think cheerful, encouraging, gender neutral — birthdays, seasons, non-religious holiday cards, thinking of you, sympathy, blank and decorated on the outside, or just a friendly hello. Council on Aging will handle the postage (but postage donations are always welcome) and get the cards to people who need them.

No superior art skills needed. Just creativity, kindness, and time. The picture above is a sample of cards previously made.

I’ll have blank cards, envelopes, and basic supplies for everyone like scissors, markers, and whatever else I conjure up, but bring some supplies to use or share if you have them — colored pencils, stickers, whatever you like.

I have more info in person about the Caring Connections program if you’re interested in volunteering long-term.

*Family-friendly. Kids 8 and up welcome to this event with a parent or guardian.

RSVP please so I know how many supplies to buy but if there’s space, you’re welcome to join last minute.

We’ll have the red and green magnets to signal your social battery — please take one from me when you come in.
