Ethel
McCreary, pictured at age 93, had been knitting for over 80 years.
She passed away on February 21, 2009 at the age of 101. The Forest
Park Women's Club honors her dedication, talent and commitment to
the club. The club has raised money for scholarships and other community
projects over the years with the sale of these buddies.
Ethel’s Kitchen Buddies are a hand-knitted, all-purpose scrubber
(cleaning pad) that can be used on almost any surface and with any
type of cleaning agent (detergent, bleach, etc.). Use them on dishes,
pots, pans, and any surface that may need to be scrubbed (i.e. plastic
linings of swimming pools, kitchen or bathroom tiles, shower doors,
etc.). People are constantly discovering new uses for Ethel’s
Kitchen Buddies! One customer found they’re great for removing
lint and pet hair from clothing.
Ethel’s Kitchen Buddies will never rust or wear out because
they are made of a special blend of nylon material. They can be easily
cleaned and sanitized by soaking them in a mild solution of bleach
or by washing them in the dishwasher. Some customers have reported
that they have been using the same Kitchen Buddy for as long as seven
years! It is said that the only way you can get rid of one is to lose
it!
The Kitchen Buddies are $5 per pack of 2 buddies
and the proceeds help support our scholarship program. Please
contact the Forest Park Women’s Club to order your Ethel’s
Kitchen Buddies today — they will also be available for sale
at our annual Craft Show and Bazaar. They make wonderful
gifts to share with your family and friends. |
