Ela Charity Knit & Crochet Celebrates 10 Years with Open House Wednesday

For the past 10 years, members of Ela Charity Knit & Crochet have been making handmade items for those in need.

The community is invited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ela Charity Knit & Crochet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 17, at the Ela Community Center, located at 380 Surryse Rd., in Lake Zurich.

Join us for cake and refreshments and learn about this wonderful group of ladies that has made thousands of blankets, hats, scarves, baby items and more for donations to area churches, homeless and domestic violence shelters, schools, hospitals and other nonprofit organizations and causes.

New members are always welcome. The group meets every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ela Township Community Center. Beginners and those with no experience are welcome to attend, as the other members are always happy to share their know-how. The group also happily accepts donations of yarn. For more information, call Susan Fackler at (847) 540-8380 or visit www.elatownship.org/charity-knit-crochet.
