Happy New Year!
2026 is off and running, and we’re already in our second month! A lot of great things are in the works for our Sew-N-Sews members this year.
Holiday Luncheon Recap
Our Holiday Luncheon was a wonderful success and was enjoyed by everyone who attended. A big thank you to all who helped make it possible, especially Rita Grant and Connie Hogan for their time and effort!
