Tallgrass Creek Residents Make/Deliver 20 Wood Cradles, Mattresses and Blankets to Johnson County Christmas Bureau
OVERLAND PARK,  KS (December 1, 2011) - Residents of Tallgrass Creek retirement community in Overland Park, KS, this week delivered 20 cradles built by the campus' woodworkers to the Johnson County Christmas Bureau. The cradles were filled with mattresses and blankets made by resident sewers and knitters. In addition, residents donated baby dolls for the cradles.
The donation is a holiday tradition of sorts for the nearly 300 residents of Tallgrass Creek. They and campus staff  will volunteer at the Johnson County Christmas Bureau in the coming week.
