Hopkins Activity Center News & Notes

Sharing Your Hobby with Others

Scrapbookers have a lot of heart, and the scrapbooking group from the Hopkins Activity Center is evidence of having big hearts and an even greater passion for creativity. Aptly called the Creative Chaos group, they find great joy in sharing their excitement each time they complete another page in their scrapbooks of memories. Throughout the past few months they have worked on their own projects independently at home, rather than their typical in person all day scrapbooking sessions. Then they would meet virtually via Zoom to show off their completed projects, or gather in person at Downtown Park, when the weather cooperated. To get involved with the Creative Chaos group, which is open to other craft enthusiasts, not just scrapbookers, check out the group's weekly meeting dates here.
