24 | OHCC LIVING | MARCH 2024 | Grandma's Closet Spring is finally here! We look forward to warmer temps, colorful and fragrant flowers – and visits from family and friends, to whom we look forward to hosting. At Grandma's Closet, we have been very busy helping our neighbors better host their kiddies. If anyone needs some items for the baby or little kids to better accommodate them, Grandma's Closet may have just the ticket! We keep a list of people who have items to loan, their contact information, as well as with the items they wish to share. When someone inquires about borrowing items, we'll supply the list, and the donor and recipient can work out the details. We offer these loans to be used by our residents for our visiting grandchildren. The borrowed items are not to be taken out of the village and used elsewhere or by anyone other than the borrower. A special "thank you" is due to Lynn Bible, who is happily busy with other projects and clubs. Lynn has been a generous pillar of sanity and skill. Thank you, Lynn, for keeping us sane. Rich Halkyard has volunteered to fill Lynn's shoes – it's a good thing you have big feet, Rich, because Lynn's shoes are huge! If you have items you wish to loan out (strollers, car seats, carriers, Pack 'n Plays, high chairs, books, toys, games, puzzles, etc.), send an email to Naomi (NaomiBKatz@iCloud.com) and/or Rich (redcisc@ gmail.com), enumerating those items and age-appropriateness, along with your name, address, phone numbers and email address. That information will be added to the list. If you find yourself in need of an item or two, please let Rich or me know, and we will forward the list to you. If your visiting grandchildren have left behind items, you won't be needing for a while, consider offering them for loan at Grandma's Closet. If you have any items of clothing or furniture for babies or children which you can't store or use, please let us know. We will gladly pick up the items and bring them to Father Joe's Village, which is always in desperate need. Thank you so much for your attention and anticipated assistance. Your continued generosity and support are truly appreciated. ~ Naomi B Katz and Rich Halkyard
