Several clubs are currently making fidget blankets for Hospice to use with individuals with dementia disorders. The placemat or blanket is covered with different textural items and activities like tying bows or sliding zippers or moving beads on a cord. This is one of the community service projects that the clubs participate in throughout the year.
