Blossoms on Our Flowering Branch

  • Great thanks to Melinda Swartz who donated to the branch the proceeds from the sales of her wonderfully- knit scarves at our December Holiday Brunch: $417.00!
  • Hooray for Jean Hersland who won the raffle of  the framed print donated to the branch by Arts & Antiques study group and by Inside Angles Custom Framing Gallery! The raffle netted $100.
  • And still on the subject of fund-raising, Carol Leupp hosted a delightful and delicious holiday tea to raise “Dollars for Scholars.”
  • New “Women in History” this year include Millie Benson/ Carolyn Keene (Joanie Barrett) and Harriet Tubman (Hubie Pitts). Meet them and/or other famous women at Wildwood Metropark’s Manor House from 10:00 a.m. Wednesdays in Feb & March. Phone Susan Roberts-McGlade at 419-277-0107 to be sure of schedule and space.
  • On Saturday, Jan. 5, Melissa Jeter and Jackie Bartels were featured on WTOL Morning Show, promoting the “Knitting BeTween the Ages” project at the Heatherdowns Library co-sponsored by our AAUW “Knitting for Others” study group!
