Kiwanis Club of Elkton Doll Project

by Bill McQuiston

The Kiwanis Club of Elkton offered the opportunity for Capital District Convention attendees in Williamsburg to work on a service project between events. The doll project provides dolls to local medical facilities in the Elkton area so that doctors can show the children by drawing on the dolls what procedures the child may be having. The dolls also can be given out simply to comfort children. In any case, the children can take the dolls home with them. Besides assistance with their own project, the Kiwanians in Elkton hope that other clubs might consider this great hands-on project for their own clubs. Information was provided on how to make the dolls. At the convention 52 were stuffed and 38 were stuffed and sewed closed making them ready for distribution. The Kiwanis Club of Elkton wishes to thank all those at the convention who helped with the project.
