THE “HAPPY KNITTERS” of Cornwall are in search of yarn for our community.  We are starting our third consecutive year in creating warm clothing like toques, scarves, mittens etc. for those in need in our community. Most seniors are on a limited income, but they still contribute their time to make woolen items. Our group totally rely on the generosity of our community, so if you have leftover yarn or would like to make donations for the purchase of needed yarn it would greatly be appreciated by the knitters and those in need. .Info: Lynn 613-933-6268 or Diane 613-861-2573.
