DOLLARS FOR MISSIONS The LWML thanks Pat S., a former GSLC member, who embroidered a queen size quilt and donated it to us to raise money for our mission work. Thanks to Karen M. who also helped with it and had it hand quilted. The quilt is on display downstairs in the fellowship hall. Your name along with a dollar donation will give you one (ten with a $5.00 donation) possibility of owning this beautiful quilt.
