Each year, the Lady-Links make over 100 craft ornaments to send to the residents in our community’s continuing care facility. Usually, we have a big party with lots of festivities. This year, we had to make some changes…but guess what…the Lady-Links still had fun, showing a festive spirit (even without the delicious cake and punch we traditionally have) as they made the ornaments… but we did it COVID style. That meant wearing masks, social distancing and no eating or drinking. We’re used to that by now, so have the routine “down pat!” Our craft manager even had the ornaments separated into groups by table: Christmas, Holiday, Faith-Based, Winter-themed so each Lady-Links could choose where to sit according to her preference. That way, each Lady-Link only handled the ornaments she made rather than sorting through them to make her selections. Another health and safety measure we follow!
Under each mask is a smile. This is a very special activity that we look forward to each December, and the Lady-Links know how to bring love and laughter with them regardless of circumstances!
We also had 12 Lady-Links working from home on this project. For those who prefer to work in their own home rather than attend an in-person event, we have a “Linking from Home” option. That way, each Lady-Link can stay involved but at her own comfort level for the health and safety guidelines she feels best.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Lady-Links…COVID style!
