Join us March 14th for a meaningful crafting workshop where guests will learn to knit or crochet poppies in honor of Paris Legion Branch 29’s 100th anniversary. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced maker, your handmade poppies will become a part of this special tribute to our veterans and local history. Guests are asked to please bring knit & crochet tools (5mm) if you have them, along with donations of red and black yarn to keep the poppies coming!

Step back in time and explore the beautiful traditions of handmade correspondence. Participants will learn about the history and symbolism behind Victorian motifs—such as flowers, lace, and embossed details—before creating their own handcrafted card using period-inspired materials and techniques.
Perfect for adults and older children alike, this workshop blends history, creativity, and craftsmanship. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Leave with a unique keepsake and a deeper appreciation for the artistry and personal touch of Victorian communication.
