February 13, 2019 by YMOW

Eager, creative volunteers packed the tent at Cultivate Coffee and Tap House Saturday, Feb. 9, to create Valentine's Day greetings for YMOW's seniors. The result was lots of happy faces and hundreds of beautiful cards, each designed to brighten a senior's Valentine's Day.

Friends Tyson and Cooper got creative with their Valentine's Day messages to local seniors.

Artists of all ages, including Rita and her mom, Molly, helped to create hundreds of cards at YMOW's annual Valentine's Day card-Making event.

Young cardmaker Rita proved you can never have too many stickers.

Members of the EMU Sigma Delta Tau sorority spent the morning creating handmade cards for their homebound senior neighbors.

Crafters Karen and Jan turned out a collection of beautiful handmade greetings during their visit to Cultivate.

Longtime YMOW supporter Cathie McClure and her grandson, Trae, cut designs to be used in their handmade cards.

Members of EMU's Delta Zeta sorority used markers, paper and plenty of stickers to create their one-of-a-kind cards.
