Erika BuonemaniMelissa Holko designed and created a reflecting garden for the Aurora House, a hospice facility in Spencerport. Through donations from the Knights of Columbus and community members, Melissa was able to lead several groups of volunteers in the construction and installation of a patio and outdoor furniture, as well as the landscaping and creation of a garden around the patio. The garden and patio will provide a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors at the Aurora House.
Erika Buonemani led a team that created over 50 Doodle Bags that were donated to the Golisano Children’s Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Using fabric donated by a local quilt shop, the Doodle Bags were sewn together by area quilters. Inside each bag were coloring books, crayons, a pencil pouch made by younger Scouts and other various art supplies. The Doodle Bag will be given to young patients to make their hospital stay a bit more pleasant.
