Outcome: Initial Outcome

After years of receiving request for crafts classes a group was formed in September with a purpose of teaching marketable skills.  The group currently consists 27 members and attendance varies on the topic.  The first program taught was bow making as it is technique used in a variety of applications. The FCS agent taught the skill of making a poinsettia bow and a volunteer leaders taught the basic bow skill.  Two of the participants used the newly acquired skills to make an item for the Louisville Festival of Trees and Lights.  The item sold on the first day with $65 going to Norton Children's Hospital.  Currently, teaching space is limited due to ongoing construction but the group plans to expand in the spring to cover more skill development as well as beginning business and marketing sessions.
