In addition to thanking our veterans, On September 11 I was reminded that we need to thank our local 1st responders.. Firemen/women and policemen/women risk themselves for others every day. It is time to say thank you. In this workshop, through a variety of methods, teens will make a one of a kind item to donate as a special thank you to a local police station or fire station. My goal is to make sure every single one gets a handmade thank you, while inspiring charity and kindness in the teens that participate in this program.

I couldn’t ask for a better person than Leslie to hire for my craft programs. One of my favorite moments was when Leslie brought some crafting materials that were a little “goth” because she had noticed a teen that was interested in that. She pays attention to each teen who attend the programs and has learned their preferences. The teens respond easily to her instructions and suggestions. Leslie is professional and easy to work with.
