Activities to Learn and
Share
Sewing -- if you
choose to participate in the sewing program you will learn how to piece quilt
tops together. you will also learn how to tack and quilt the quilts together.
Crafts -- there are
many different types of crafts to choose from: holiday decorations, latch hook
rugs, beaded jewelry and more. All items we make are sold to raise money for the
program.
Sorting -- We receive
donations of used clothing from people in the community. All participating
members get to go through the clothing. The clothing that we do not need is
donated to other organizations. There is a drop box outside of Union Church, and
all clothing donations are appreciated.
Daycare as well
Daycare is provided for babies and children up to three
years of age. This is a free service to women attending the program. The
childcare provider has CPR, first aid training and early childhood training.
Holidays are special
The Fridays before Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter we
have a potluck dinner. We also try to assist our regular participants with food
baskets or gift certificates for the holidays, if funds are available.
Fundraiser
We have holiday and rummage sales to raise money for this
program. the money is used to buy sewing and craft supplies. It also helps with
the gift baskets. We ask that the women help with the sales.

Industrial. Come on in and bring a friend, your mother or grandmother.
