Guest Speaker
Joan Lloyd spoke to us about her project, Bling’s The Thing. She makes and donates earrings to battered women’s shelters and she holds workshops (for seniors, girl scouts, etc) to teach others how to make and donate them. Joan is holding such a workshop at the Hart Library on August 28 starting at 6:00PM. She said that she finds this activity rewarding as do those who participate in the workshop. Joan has a Facebook page, Bling’s The Thing and her email address is JoanELloyd@att.net. Thank you, Joan for your presentation - please come again.
