OPTIMIST CLUB GIFT NANA

March 15, 2013 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

The South Side Optimist Club is all about the love and care of children, and that’s why they invited Nana’s Creations to be Tuesday’s guest speaker. “Nana” talked about wrapping a child in love by donating her blankets to various fire stations in the area. Club President Ron Perkins presented a check in the amount of $100 on behalf of the club. We are very grateful to the members of the South Side Optimist Club and also to the members who gave personal donations.

Nana’s Blankets are featured at A to Z Embroidery at 6150 Bluffton Road.
