Community Booth
Hooks and Needles Lakefield is a community knitting group and they are looking for more knitters and community support.
They are working on a request from the Algonquins of Pikwakaragan in Golden Lake, Ontario, for knitted "lap blankets" for their Seniors and clothing, in general, for children ages 2 to 16. They also have requested dry foods (spaghetti/macaroni), etc. Free transportation of these items to Golden Lake has been arranged and the shipment goes out early in July. At the market on July 5, they will be accepting items. Our knitters in Lakefield and our co-members in Lindsay are knitting the lap blankets right now. We are always looking for more knitters and/or any donations of yarn that we can then give to some of our Seniors who knit for us but don't have the funds to buy the yarn!
Kawartha Land Trust will be at the Market this week talking about their mission to care for lands entrusted to them and to help others protect the land they love.
KLT is a non-government registered charity dedicated to conserving the natural environment and enhancing quality of life in the Kawartha area. KLT protects 14 properties covering 3,355 acres of diverse and significant landscapes with a donated land value of $8.7 Million. The organization is supported by an amazing team of over 110 volunteers.
