FOOCH executive director. “This wonderful woman donates these comforting ‘lapghans’ to our hospice patients each year,” Twiss said. “She was inspired to make them following her mother’s stays in rehab centers and she very graciously began making them for our patients.” “I took up crocheting 21 years ago when I retired from teaching high school English,” Alm said. “I began making full-size afghans for family and friends as well as baby afghans. When I ran out of people to give the afghans to, I looked for places to which I could donate them.” For additional information, visit www.friendsofhospice.org, or call 315-343-5223.
