Our Commitment to Community Service
Our chapter like a lot of other chapters nationwide are committed to helping in our community. We take seriously the idea that many hands can make light work.
We sew clothing and other items to give to organizations that help those less fortunate than ourselves. We have lots of fun and it’s such a joy to sew for others.
