Marco Island Woman’s Club Holiday Spirit

December is a busy month for everyone and the Woman’s Club is no exception. The Club’s Stitch Makers delivered 102 knitted and crocheted baby blankets, six infant blanket/sweater/hat sets and 25 handmade quilts, made by former Club member Marie Senechal, to the Golisano Children’s Hospital in Fort Myers. The blankets are distributed to patients in the hospital’s Pediatric Critical Care Unit. They also donated 100 hats to Al’s Pals; 50 hats for students at the Manatee Elementary School; and 11 “angel blankets” to a local funeral home.

The Stitch Makers are a group of 28 club members that knit and crochet year-round on their own and meet once a month as a group. Over the past five years, the Stitch Makers have donated 791 blankets, 685 hats and, more recently, 19 infant sweaters to various local nonprofit organizations.

On December 9, 2021, 70 Club members and guests dined and danced the night away at the Club’s Holiday Party at the Marco Island Yacht Club with special guests Santa and Marco’s own chanteuse, Rosetta Stone.
