The Suburban Woman's Club of Lafayette has been making Christmas and Easter baskets for residents at the Woodland Convalescent Hospital since 1998 and are now delivering them to the Lafayette Nursing Home. Betsey Young is chairman of the craft group that meets at her home once a month to glue little noses on Easter bunnies and beards on Santa Claus, have lunch, and a lot of laughs.

The recipients are delighted to receive their baskets; some have kept them over the years. It is such a little thing but means so much to them. If you would like to join us for the making of the Christmas baskets and also get more information regarding the club and our many other activities, please call Jean Cappa at (925) 283-2759.
