The Laurel Doll Club of Pennsylvania's "Raggedy Ann Service Project"

embers of the Laurel Doll Club of Pennsylvania came
up with an innovative community service project
using handmade dolls to benefit area nursing homes
and the local women's shelter. The project was to make
Raggedy Ann dolls to be donated to the elderly women
in nursing homes and for children's toys in the women's
shelter. What girl, no matter what age doesn't love a doll?
Our club members set up a production line at monthly
meetings, some cut patterns, some stitched, some stuffed
and others painted lovable faces on the dolls. Our dear
member Cathy Atkinson graciously brought her sewing
machine to the meetings to help speed up production of
the dolls. For some members who weren't experienced
in making Raggedy Ann dolls, club member Anna
Mae Curren gave a 'crash course' in stitching hair and
painting faces. Although some of the work took place at

Members shared laughter and stories of
childhood memories.

From left to right are members Joy
Thomas, Barbara York, Anna Mae Curren,
Rita Grinnan and Carol Morrison.

February and March meetings, a great deal of work was
accomplished by the members at home.
Each doll took on a special individuality from the doll
maker who fashioned her. As the group worked together
during the meetings, laughter and stories of childhood
memories filled the room. By working together, one
could feel that strong love for dolls that unite us. The
members of our club are just as unique as the dolls
they produced. When twenty dolls were finished
they were divided and presented to the Green Home
Nursing Home, the Broad Acres Nursing Home (both in
Wellsboro, Pennsylvania) and the Wellsboro Women's
Shelter, where they were welcomed with smiling faces
and open arms. The Laurel Doll Club of Pennsylvania,
based in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, meets on the third
Tuesday of each month at Pinnacle Towers.

Completed Raggedy Ann dolls wait for their new home.
