Card Crusaders

Getting older can be a lonely experience. Friends and family pass away and that may make us feel alone and isolated, but it doesn’t have to. A group of ladies got together at a senior center for an arts and crafts class to learn how to make cards and wound up making friends as well. Rob Wilds went to the Martin Fifty Forward Center in Brentwood, TN to meet the members of the Card Crusaders. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television’s Tennessee Crossroads.
