Needles and Pins Craft Fair Oct. 1-2 raises money for Employee Hardship Fund

Posted 9/21/2009

The Annual Needles and Pins Craft Fair, a huge undertaking put on by the Medical Center Staff Council, will be held this year on Oct. 1-2 in the Robinson Research Building (RRB). Items will be displayed on the 3rd floor-connecting hallway that extends from VUH/TVC 3rd floor clinic area to the VA Hospital and Light Hall.  The MCSAC will also offer their famous chilidogs, hotdogs, chili, baked goodies, and a silent auction.

Get a start on your holiday gift shopping. The Fair features a wide array of arts and crafts ranging from jewelry to woodworking and quilting.

This is a nonprofit event for the Medical Center Staff Advisory Council. Staff members volunteer time and funds are raised through booth fees, silent auction, baked goods and lunch menus. These funds are later disbursed throughout the Vanderbilt community to benefit the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Vanderbilt affiliated community projects, and Vanderbilt projects that provide assistance to patients and their families.
