Today, I took a bag of yarn I won’t use to the Seniors Center.
One of the ladies said I should join the Needlework group, especially since most of what I crochet is to give away, same as their projects.
I told them that at age 50, I am not eligible for the Senior Center, whose programs are geared for them who are 60 years or older.
It turns out that yes, there are certain activities for which I would not be allowed to participate, but working with hook and yarn while chatting and helping to match colors would be very welcome.
The staff person, who was rummaging through the bag of yarn, oooing and ahhing, gave a little half smile and said
“We don’t Card anybody…”

What a wonderful way to me new people and give of your knowledge to help others and you don’t even have to be there every day. The one time I visited our Senior center to give some old cell phones to them it was a card playing and gossip thing and I don’t need that. Enjoy!
LOL! sounds like you’d have a good time needling with these ladies!
Oh, yeah, Mary, there are card games going at 3 tables in one of the rooms.
The building has many rooms.
The Needlework group meets way in the back, past the aerobics class, past the choir room, and past the library.
It seems to be a very busy place!
