An innovative and unique intergenerational learning program has begun at the West Broad Street YMCA located at 1110 May Street, Savannah, GA. This program, a partner ship between Coats and Clarke Corporation, Warm Up America Foundation, The Housing Authority of Savannah, Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah Arts Academy, and Senior Citizens, Inc., provides an opportunity for those skilled in the art of knitting and cro chet to pass their knowledge and skill onto a younger gen eration. Volunteers from SCAD, Savannah Arts, and local seniors come to the West Broad Street YMCA twice a week and work with children in grades 3-5. All of the supplies are donated through the Warm Up America Foundation and each child has his or her own box of supplies. “This is one of the most fun things I have done in a long time,” says Philippa Paddington one of the volun teers. “I have loved knitting and crochet for years. To be able to teach someone else, especially a young child, and see their face light up as they start to actually make some thing is incredible!” The pilot program began at the end of October and will run through the mid dle of November. “We want the kids to have an opportuni ty to make something for someone else,” offers Deborah Enoch, Program Director at the West Broad See Loop It Up, page 16 JgJk* ft Krpxb I IriUmgr imrt \ir fio You Have an Old Furnace or Gas Heater that needs Service?
