Loretta Shirley and Blanche Knicely will attend the county meeting in Fairlea on the 24th and take two door prizes.

The lesson “Native Americans in West Virginia” was presented by Laura Rose. She spent a lot of time researching her topic and gave a good talk including stories of her own native ancestors. Cassandria Perkins gave each attendee a bead and feather necklace.

Thinking of you and get well cards were prepared for friends and neighbors. Nonperishable foods were collected for a local food pantry. A pot luck lunch was served after the business meeting with a prayer of thanks given by Cassandria Perkins.
