Believe it or not, there was a time when television only had three channels, phones had cords, and there was no DVRing our favorite American Idol episodes, but people still got together to socialize (even without Facebook).

Now, you can learn how to play too!

Come join me, Mary, and the rest of the ladies (we do have an occasional man also) on the third Tuesday of the month at 2:00 p.m. We do a variety of projects; we have made pillowcase dresses, baby items for charity, several wall hangings for our branch, and much more. We do a variety of needlework, crochet, quilting, knitting and more. Sometimes we have a project we're working on as a group, and other times we just do our own projects or help each other out with something we are working on.
