Holiday break for the Craft Circle
The Craft Circle, which meets every Monday at 10 am, will take a break until April 2. The ladies in this group worked hard making things for the craft faire and are gathering their energies to start afresh in the new year. If you like working on projects, like sewing, crafting, knitting, etc... please join these women in April. You do not need to come every week, it is a lovely casual opportunity to meet and develop some friendships while having fun too!
