Postcards of Solidarity
A postcard making and writing activity for adults and children in partnership with Le Renaissance – Manoir St-Francis.
In this difficult time many seniors find themselves cut off from friends and family. Consider creating an artistic “postcard of solidarity” to send to a resident of the Manoir St. Francis.
- Contact the library to let us know you want to take part.
- We will prepare a selection of craft materials for you and your family to create a colourful, original postcard at home.
- Bring your finished postcard(s) back to the library and we will deliver them for you.
- Children and adults alike are welcome to participate.
