Do you enjoy art and being creative?  You can volunteer to make cards for senior citizens to make their birthdays more special!

The Avon Library and the Avon Youth Services Bureau will provide card-making supplies for you to make cards for the senior citizens of Avon to bring birthday fun and cheer.  Cards will be distributed to the Avon Senior Citizen Center, assisted living facilities, and local oncology centers.
