Piggy Bank Bazaar

A Craft Fair for Children

Hello Everyone,
Come “Chase the Winter Blues” away! We will brighten your morning with great ideas to share and fun crafts to do. The Wednesday Morning Workshop is a warm, sunny, friendly, happy part of our day that gives us purpose as we create gifts for the children’s craft fair. We have been busy putting together many different types and skill levels of Kits for you to choose from, whether it be cut & paste, sand & paint, sew & stuff, arrange & assemble, we have it all!! We will meet at 9:30am to 11:30am in the Education Center, rooms 13 and 15 on March 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th. (Note: There is still a chance winter weather could impact our Wednesday Morning Workshop meetings, sooo… if that be the case, the Wappingers’ Schools are closed or even on a delay, there will be no meeting for us.)

“Stock Check”, There are a number of items in our Crafting Cupboard that we used up last year and need to Restock. First: plastic storage bins, brown paper bags with handles, department store handle bags, Christmas gift bags, tissue paper, small jewelry size boxes with lids, and Christmas big roll wrapping paper (for our Bazaar Day Tables). Second: crafting supplies: scissors, pencils, pens, rulers, yardsticks, plyers, dowel sticks, new nails & screws; rubber bands, paperclips, tacky glue, hot gun glue sticks(mini and standard size), crafting paints, small detail paint brushes (size 0), flat edge ones too, (1/4’’wide). Next: fabric, fleece fabric, polyester fiberfill stuffing, ribbon, macramé cord, small Christmas stockings, containers for candy, mugs, mason jars, tiny and mid-size vases, floral foam, basket grass, and picture frames. Last: button magnets, jingle bells, new ornaments, jewelry making supplies, scrap book paper and supplies, wiggle eyes (assorted sizes), pompoms, sea shells (various sizes), and silk flowers.

Some other news, I’m happy to announce that our Giant Piggy Sign and some of the
other signs that are used on Bazaar Day are getting some new paint.
An interesting fact, from our Annual Report, is that 1992-2024 Piggy Bank Bazaar has donated $109,076.44 to various causes mostly concerning NHRC. This year we voted to give a donation of $500.00 to each of the following; the Property Committee, the New Hackensack Nursery School, River Haven, and the Hudson River Lodge.

Pick a Kit….Your choice….Enjoy the fun…looking forward to meeting you.
We really enjoy creating gifts from all your donations, Thank You!

Cindy Corish, for the Wednesday Morning Workshop
