FLORIDA LIVING RESIDENTS DISPLAY ARTS AND CRAFTS

by Robert Janssen
Residents of Florida Living Retirement Community in Apopka displayed the results of their God-given talents at an Arts and Crafts Display held in the Retirement Center’s meeting room for three days in mid-January.
Forty-six different art mediums were represented by 21 senior citizens, including: intricate needlework, calligraphy, wood crafts, Christmas decorations, stained glass, and ceramics. The show also included pictures from seven resident artists. An item that drew considerable attention was a hymnal translated into the Chichawa language that is used in Malawi, Africa.
The purpose of the show was to encourage residents to get involved in making useful items that can be shared with others.
