The Middletown Builders Club has 27 members. We have been very busy this year. These are some of the things we have accomplished. The first thing we have done was to collect $429.30 for UNICEF. All of that money went to helping children in Swaziland, Africa who are less fortunate. After that project, we did "Make a Difference Day" at Hood College. School aged children, adults and seniors went to Hood College and they made hats, booties, blankets, bibs and colorful animals for children in the hospital (upper left). They also made a quilt that will go into the children's hospital. Talking about making crafts, our next project was making Christmas ornaments for the residents at Vindobona Nursing Home. The crafts varied from reindeers, angels, doves and button wreaths. These ornaments helped to cheer up the residents for the holidays. Finally, we helped the Kiwanis Club in gift-wrapping at the FSK Mall in Frederick (upper right). All the money we helped raise will go to local children's charities. So far, this year has been very productive and we look forward to continuing our services for the rest of the school year.
