August meeting tomorrow

Just a reminder that our monthly meeting is tomorrow. I hope everyone managed to stay safe and dry through all the rain. I called Southside Baptist Church this morning to verify they were open with no issues. Yay, meeting as usual! Tomorrow Bonnie from Sew Much More will be our speaker. We will start with her program first at ten. So, plan accordingly. She is also bringing items for purchase. Social time starts at 930, meeting at ten. See you tomorrow! Kim
