Join us the first Saturday of every month, at 9:00 AM at the home of our hostess, Frankie Green. Our next meeting will be THIS Saturday, February 4th. We begin with prayer and enjoy the fellowship of others.  We sew projects to be donated to others such as nursing homes, orphanages, cancer centers and wherever there is need. If you would like to learn to sew we can do that also, just bring your sewing machine, and accessories. If you just want fellowship that’s OK, you can iron or bring your scissors and help cut material. For more information call Frankie at 773-9762.
