News on coming programs. Program Planner Regestration - Barb Olson information here Children’s Donation Quilts December 2009 Program Featuring: Ann Zemkee’s “Orphan Train Rider” and the Buckner International The true meaning of Christmas, once
again in our guild, sprang forth as beautiful quilts, shoes, socks,
scrapbooking supplies, and financial donations were given by members
to the Buckner Children’s home. The love in the hearts of the RGVQG
brought tears to the eyes of several. Ann Zemke spoke about the life
of her grandmother, an Orphan Train Rider and displayed the quilt she
made in her memory. Ann is a quilter and author of “They Named Me
Marjorie,” an autobiography of the orphan’s life. 178 people
attended this heart-tugging meeting. New members were introduced and
visitors that did not sew but had heard about our program attended.
Door prizes with Norman Rockwell photos of children added to the fun.
A Christmas meeting to remember!Author: Susan Flarity |
