Friends Helping Friends

In December 2023, the JSFC and the ObiObi Japanese craft and volunteer group sponsored a decorated tree to benefit the Greenwich Historical Society / Festival of Tabletop Trees. Members of the ObiObi group volunteered their creative talents over many weeks to make dozens of handmade ornaments. Each one was upcycled from beautiful kimono obis for a fabulous Japanese themed holiday tree. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Our entree was a one-of-a kind obi-inspired tree. The trees were viewed by the public for free in the Greenwich Historical Society’s Museum lobby: December 6 -8 (noon – 4pm) and December 9 (11-7pm), 2023. Bids and purchases benefited the GHS museum.

The JSFC tree, titled "Japanese Holiday", won the award for "MOST CREATIVE" tree!  Congratulations to the ObiObi volunteers!
