Over the years, the group has been active in charity projects such as scarves & hats for Afghan refugee children, caps for premature & newborns, knitted nests for abandoned songbirds, and donations to Cultural Center fundraisers!
As of 2022, Sit ‘n’ Stitch began a partnership with Knotty Neighbors, a secular and inclusive crafting group with a mission of meeting to create together for our shared communities. Items crafted including winter outerwear, washcloths, and/or other identified needs are shared with our neighbors in the OTC Lakes Area through distribution via partner nonprofit organizations.
**Free and open to all boys and girls, men and women. This group meets every Thursday at the Center from 5 – 7 p.m.

Students will learn basic ballet technique in a fun and encouraging class environment, with a goal of instilling a love of movement and dance for children. Classes will focus on the basics of gross motor movement including strength, coordination, and flexibility, as well as socialization and group learning. Every class will be a dance adventure of music and movement!
Sessions are typically 8-12 weeks and run seasonally in the fall (September – December) and spring (February – May). Watch kulcher.org for seasonal dates, announcements, and fees.
