The club, which was scart- ed last year, aims to provide knitted scarves to area home- less shelters and hospitals. Hebeisen said the scarves act as both wearable gifts and, more importantly, reminders that the recipient is cared fur. "We try tn let people know they are part of our commu- nity by welcoming them with our scarves and makingcthem feel loved," Hebeisen said. An avid knitter, Hebeisen said she began knitting for the cause in middle school at home in Evanston, Ill. with her mother. Upon coming to the University, she founded SWAP with support from her academic learning communi- ty, the Michigan Community Scholars Program. The club has since grown and now has upwards of 100 members. Besides knitting with one another, members of the group also accept donations from anyone offer- ing scarves or supplies. to addition to knitting, Hebeisen said she and many members of the club are edu- cating themselves about the devastating effects of pov- erty. "Last year, we were really based on knitting and not much else, but now we're trying to educate our group about homelessness and pov- erty," she explained. This semester, Hebeisen said the group has plans to partner with local nursing homes to knit and bond with residents while encourag- ing them to donate to the needy. She said most com- pleted scarves are donated to the Delonis Center home- less shelter in downtown Ann Arbor, but the group occa- sionally donates to areas in Chicago and is looking for a shelter in Detroit as well Hebeisen added that most members don't know how to knit upon joining but can pick it up quickly at one of the club's weekly meetings. "The meetings get really, really intense and it's kind of stressful to teach so many people (to knit). But it's fun.. and it's worth it," she said, - CLAIRE GOSCICKI Scarves With A Psrpose is a University student organization which provides hoitted articles ot clothing to local ares homeless shelters and hospitals. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JACOB SNULOVITZ KATIE JOZWIAKZ Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-408-4005 eat. 0252 734-408-4105 eat. 1241 smitovitz@michigandaily.com rtndbusiness@gmnaitecom CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom officoehouerson-chors. 1lion. -o a. 734-418-4115 npt.3 News Tips newso@miihigandaity.com torrections caorrctions@mihhigandaiy.om Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Photography Department photo@michigandaiy.comr Arts Sectiontartspaageichigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@mihigandaily.com Sports Sectior sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dispay@michigandaily.com tlassified Sales classified@mihhigandoily.om Online Sales onlineads@mihhigandaily.come Finarce finance@michigondaily.om EDITORIAL STAFF Matt Aaronson ManagingEtdtor aaonson@m~ichigandaily.com llian Berman Maniging NewsiEdiornhermn@nmichigandaily.com SEsIOR NEWS EDIToORS ioleAbe, Stephanie Steinbe~rgKyeOwnon,Eswen Thirunvkkaras,eonTowrb ASSSTNTNESosEDITORS: BethanBiro, Dylan Cint,CtinrHustoo, Lndsy Kre,osepohiher, eoicaMenaii, Elyan Twgg Rachel VanlGilder EitorilPgerEditor vngilder@michigandaily.com SENIOR EDITORIAL eAsEETORS:nsMicheeDeWitt, EmilyOrleyLauoa Oeith Ryan Kartle ManagingSportsoEditor kartje@michigan~daily.com SENIORORToS EIOS:MarkhBurn,MihaFolrk, ChnelJenig, Tmoha, Nick Spar,,0J o aplto ASSISTS PORTSEDITORno S e sews,tehen sit, Luke Pash,Zk Pyik,Amy Jamie Block Managintgcrt Editor block@mihiganddolyvenm SENIOR ARTS EITORS:CanKlarekioAndew LanJf aenord AS STAT RS EDITeORSsn Acsho LehBugin Shea,o oai Shekhr lPandey, Daid Tao Maxstollins and photomihigandailypcom SamWaoo ManagigPhoto Editori SENIOR POTOnEDITOR: Ariel on,MrissaMclin SSISTAsNTPOOnEIORS: akeFom,edseoh Anna Lein-relinski and design@michigandiycome Sarah Squire MainesoeignoEdtors Tevortalero MagaineEditor calhro@mihhigandailyacom Melanie Fried and copydekgnichiandatilyco AdiWollstein Copypthiehs BUSINESS STAFF lolianna trim SalesiManaern SALECSrFOCMNAESephanieowkher MARKETNGr MANAGE: on Jucaj Hillary Soawala Classified Manager Jason Mahakian ProdctioManagr Meghan Rooney Layout anagr Nick MeshkinFinaneManager Chrissy Winkler tircultionManager Zach Yaocr ebhrojectoordinaor Tht Michigan tails ISSN 0r45-967)lis published MondaatrougshFiay during thetfall and wintrters bystudents at theUivesity of Mihigan.Oe op saailblehfee ofcharge toall readers.
