Hillsdale Access for All (HAFA) is very excited to announce a new inclusive Arts & Crafts Workshop in collaboration with the Hillsdale Free Public Library.

All classes for these monthly Arts and Crafts programs will be presented by Suzi Gerace, artist & studio owner of Dream Makers in Hillsdale.
Initially, two consecutive classes are scheduled for February 22 for Adults (ages 18 +) at 11AM and Tweens (grades 7-12) at 1PM.
All classes will be held at the Hillsdale Library.

It is anticipated that this program will be very popular, similar to previous classes which were always fully booked. This is a great opportunity for people with disabilities at any skill level.

If you are interested in participating in either the adult or tween class on
February 22 and would like to be registered, please send an email to:

Include the following information:
1. 11:00 AM, Adult (18+) or 1:00 PM , Grades (7-12) ages 12-17
2. Name
3. Phone
4. Town in which you reside
5. Accommodations or supports requested.

Please note the specific times for each of the two classes.
Space is limited, priority will be given to residents of Hillsdale.
You will receive a confirmation from the library when registered or notice of being placed on waitlist from HAFA.

Please follow us on FaceBook to find out about future classes and opportunities..

Thanks to the generosity and support from the Hillsdale Free Public Library, this will be offered free to participants! This is our second of what we hope will be many more inclusive programs at the library.
