NVCC Prepares For Spring Fling Sale
Navidad Valley Community Connections (NVCC) is excited to announce the March 20 Spring Fling Sale is on the calendar. It will be held under the pavilion in Wolters Park, rain or shine, and NVCC is partnering with the Boys & Girls Club in Schulenburg.
By working together, NVCC and the Boys & Girls Club can garner more support, showcase the services provided, and will have greater exposure in the community. This event will help both organizations get some much needed public support because neither organization was able to conduct events during the last quarter of 2020.
NVCC will be there from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Come take a look at some wonderfully baked goods, some springtime home and yard decorations, awesomely intricate and extremely lovely framed puzzle art from a local donor that are sofa or headboard sizes, Easter art/decorations, mugs rugs, fabric catch-alls, three-layer CDC approved cloth masks, and much, much more.
Many of the items displayed are lovingly handmade by Navidad Valley Community Connections members who frequently attend and participate in the Crafty Corner program. Their hope is to find a new home for them, while generating a means to bring in more supplies for the daily programs that keep folks coming back.
Some of the older adults who come to the Center come for the fellowship that occurs. They are happy to have a place that they can come to weekly, a place where they can be productive at something they are good at, and where they can actively participate in the programs offered while being able to give back to their community in a way and at a pace they can manage. Having the Spring Fling be a success will greatly contribute to the sense of belonging that is felt at NVCC. It will elevate an individual’s sense of purpose, and bring more meaning into what we do with our time and where we spend it. Everyone’s support is appreciated.
This past week at the NVCC Center, on Wednesday, members celebrated February birthdays of the month. Members celebrated Alton Hafer’s birthday, along with that of Cindy Villarreal. Members sang and wished both a most happy birthday and then ate a fabulous fried fish plate that was catered by Oakridge Smokehouse. Mary Ramirez provided a lovely pound cake with strawberries on it that everyone loved, to finish the meal off.
The next level of fun then occurred as members welcomed Shannon McBride, who represents Kindred at Home, to call bingo, who does so on the third Wednesday of each month. Everyone had a good time, and Shannon McBride will be back with later on this month as a Lunch & Learn speaker to tell more about Kindred at Home and the services they provide.
NVCC is happy to announce that it has received a donation of one “like new” used office chair with wheels. NVCC will gladly adopt any office chairs with wheels that you wouldn’t mind getting rid of, to facilitate the comfort for some of our older adults who find it hard to sit for long periods of time. Please call Cindy Villarreal at (979) 309-9592.
