Women’s Connect
will be holding a craft
workshop on Nov. 4
from 6 – 8 in the Nechako
Valley Community
Services boardroom.
The group meets
monthly and this month,
all women in the Fort
St. James community
are encouraged to come
out and engage, meet
new people, have fun,
and make a craft while
they’re at it.
Santa Claus beaded
earrings are on the
agenda for this month.
Joan Macgillivray,
who organizes the event
along with fellow group
member, Anna Leon
says that this is a great
opportunity to meet
other women of all
ages from new moms to
grandmothers. All are
welcome.
“It takes a community
to raise a child”,
Macgillivray says. “It’s
Women connect for Christmas crafts
a great way to get women
in the community
together in our small
town.”
The group decides
what the next project
will be from month to
month and someone always
steps up and facilitates
be it craft making
or a walk. “It’s up to the
group and the best thing
is that it’s free,” Macgillivray
said.
“Women look forward
to it and it gives
them some time out of
the house for 2 hrs a
month.”
