They started as a get together on Thursdays at the Church.  When some couldn’t get out due to health problems they began making at home. These hats were given to the school children in our area. We have received thank you notes from the children.  Laura Mahnke started the get together of making the hats. She has passed away now but her ministry will continue. -Grace Kennedy
