C R A F T S    C O R N E R

NEW to the VC Spirit Room at the Mother's Christmas Tea being held on Thursday, December 1st,  are POLAR BEARS with a football, basketball or skiff (not shown).  

Thank you, Curtis, Moses and Matthew for sharing your beautiful smiles with Crafts.
Our oven mitts and pot holders are back by popular demand!  Thanks to the amazing talent of Super Mom, Rose Chan, mom of Ryan ('03) and Kurtis ('15) Chan, seen here waving. Our gratitude also goes to Sherill Mair and family, for donating the Mylar insulation which we put in our oven mitts, pot holders and tea cozies.

See these and many more "Made in VC" items at the Mother’s Christmas Tea on December 1st!
