Melrose Arts & Crafts Society members create teddy bears for MelroseWakefield Hospital

  At each monthly meeting, members of the Melrose Arts & Crafts Society cut, sew and stuff teddy bears for donation. A longtime member of the Melrose Arts & Crafts Society, Helen Chisholm, delivered 30 teddy bears to the Emergency Department at MelroseWakefield Hospital. Operations Manager Toni Reyes, Clinical Manager Melissa O’Connor-Iudice and Jerry McCullough, RN gladly accepted them. Helen also delivered 30 teddy bears and 30 blankets to Administrative Assistant Vincenza Sullivan, Jenn Wallace, RN and Thea Vo, RN of the Mother/Baby unit of the hospital, and they were also appreciated.

  Members will be working on completing more teddy bears at the next monthly meeting, which is on January 23, 2023, at First Baptist Church (561 Main St., Melrose) from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 1:00 p.m. Hope to see you soon.
