As summer begins to wind down, we all have a little more time to sew (hopefully)! Venetia is still collecting purses until the October meetings. Several people have had difficulty getting the pattern from the website. If you need assistance, please email Venetia (vswenice@gmail.com). Visit the SEW POWERFUL website for more information about this service initiative. A free purse pattern is also available here.
Members may participate in servicing our communities with donations to such organizations as the Terrell State Hospital, food for the Food Pantry, items needed for the Rainbow Room, etc. Each month specific needs will come to our attention and will be announced as that month's community service donation by the Committee Chairpersons. These are announced at the meeting. Please contact Martha Mauer or Carol Altom if you have any questions. Visit the SEW POWERFUL website to get more information about this service event. The purse pattern is also available for free here.
The Center is always in need of grocery staples (example: canned goods, peanut butter, dry beans and personal hygiene products You can always donate money, minimum of $1. (Each $1 will buy 3 meals). Community service tickets are earned for donations.
Monthly donations may include but are not limited to Rainbow Room, Terrell State Hospital, Genesis Center and Sunflower Nursing Home. Please contact the chairman above if you wish to contribute or if you see other needs within the community that you would like to serve.
The monthly community service project will be listed in the Guilds Monthly Newsletter.
