The Happy Hooker’s Crochet Group invites anyone interested in crochet/knitting to join us! We crochet/knit for hospitals, homeless and other charity organizations. If you do not know how to crochet/knit, we will teach you! (If you have a child who wants to learn, when school is out..we have someone willing to teach them.) If you don’t want to contribute your project, come join us anyway, just for the fellowship! If you need yarn for a project, if we have it …we furnish it for our projects. We do not furnish it for projects outside of our mission, The group was organized in 2009 and has donated over 24,000 items in that period. Most of the yarn is basically donated with exception of monies that are donated. We meet every Monday morning at the Senior Citizens, in Higginsville, 9-11 a.m. If 9 a.m. is too early for you…many come in at 10 a.m.

Lately, our membership has been hit hard with deaths and health issues! Presently we have 10 members, in comparison to 23 in the past. Eleven our members have passed away and we dearly miss them and their contributions to our group. Consequently, our contributions to the hospitals and homeless have diminished considerably. Also, much of our yarn donations have been decreased as well. In fact, we are cannot fill some needs we have previously met! With this said, WE NEED YOU!

If anyone would like to join us, donate yarn or monies and/or crochet at home to help the group out; it would be greatly appreciated! If you know of a need we can assist with, don’t hesitate to ask. We will do our best to meet it. Please contact: Yvonne Colbert @ 660232-2243, Barbara Butler @ 816-456-0126 or Janet Zeller @ 314-607-7405.

The community has certainly been a great blessing to us in the past. You have greatly helped in spreading our Mission! We thank you and could not have done it without you!

Thank you very much.
