Freshmen create scarves for elderly residents

As part of Edgewood’s FIT program for freshmen that integrates subjects and activities across disciplines, the students participated in a group guidance service activity, producing knotted fleece and flannel scarves that were delivered to senior citizens.

The residents at Girlie’s Manor, assisted living homes in the Madison area, showed off their gifts that arrived just in time for a wave of temperatures hovering near zero. They sent a photo and note expressing thanks for the scarves and for the Christmas cards they also received.
