Tonight’s first Community Book Club meeting was a tremendous success! We enjoyed snacks, created quilt squares representing what home means to each of us, and took home our February book club selection, Clay’s Quilt.
A huge thank-you to Education Club members Mackenzie Martin, Kennedy Robertson, and Bella Thomas for providing childcare for the moms who attended. We’re also grateful to Caitlin Salyer for taking the quilt squares home to sew together so they can be displayed at our March discussion meeting.
What a wonderful evening of community, creativity, and conversation! 🧵📚❤️
