2026 Project Lessons- Opportunities for Growth and Development
- February – The Little Heart Project started with the intent of spreading hope & love. Hearts are left in public places for others to find. It’s a random act of kindness. Beyond that we’re trying to reduce the stigma around mental illness and hopefully prevent suicides…. one heart at a time. This lesson will be delivered to a club meeting and/or mailed.
- March – Green Companions: Exploring the World of Houseplants Join Marsha Wyatt at Aspen Ridge in Mineral Point to learn everything you need to know to grow and care for houseplants. We will talk about supplies, plants, and how to get started as well as the best plants for beginners and challenging and unique plants. There will also be a hands-on activity for each person to start their own new plant.
- April 9 –SPRING COUNCIL-Let’s have a HOOTENANY! Join the fun for this interactive folk music sing-along/play along. You can add music with instruments, too, and learn about composers and your favorite songs.
