Judith received a large number of white items for our charity project. They will all be put to good use warming people this winter.

In addition to all of this activity, nominations were made for vice-president. Charli Osborne and Kelley Kencik are the nominees. The election will be held at the November meeting. Also in November, you can sign up for the local shop hop on Saturday, November 13.
