Participants will learn techniques to create four unique greeting cards that can be sent at any time of the year to stay in touch with loved ones. Registration is required.
The workshop will be led by Linda Willimer and Janie Hermann.
Research has shown that writing and receiving letters or cards boosts feelings of well-being and lessens social isolation. Sending handwritten cards generates positive feelings and wellbeing and creates a positive boost for the receiver. The fact that someone has spent the time to make a card, write it, and send it makes the person receiving it feel far more special and cared for than receiving instant texts, emails or other social media messages. Cards are often displayed in the home and many are kept for years, providing a reminder of the person that has sent it and of your relationship with them.
Registration is required. Suggested age is 18 and older.
Presented in partnership with the Mayors Wellness Campaign community health initiative.
