Lou was introduced to organized walking while stationed at the Spangdahlem Air Base in West Germany. It was 1973. He said, “I saw hundreds of people walking and wondered what was going on.”
Of all Betty Bjore’s hobbies, paper tole is probably the most difficult and time consuming. It takes a lot of patience to create a picture.
Under the expert guidance of Betty Bjore, the craft group learned how to make artificial flowers. Although the procedure seemed easy, actually making the flowers took many clever and nimble fingers.
The craft group spent a relaxing Friday afternoon making note cards with weeds, flowers, and lots of imagination.
Last Friday was another delightful craft class led by Loretta DeWitt.
Featured in the library are sea glass plates created in a Craft Club project lead by Melody Szepetzk. Betty Bjore’s floral arrangements and a painting by Jeanette Stevens enhance the display.
When Tammy Martin heard that Loretta DeWitt teaches craft classes elsewhere, she encouraged her to start a Craft Club in Tanglewood.
Soon after coming here in 2003, Marilyn was asked to be TMAC treasurer. “I’ll give it a try,” she said. As a retired math teacher, Marilyn was well suited to tackle the task.
