Special Interest Groups

BLANKETFEST for 2025-2026 will be Thursday, January 22, 2026, 10 am to 2 pm at Grace Lutheran Church. Each person should bring 1 1/2 or 2 yards of "no-pill" fleece, scissors, and a ruler. Also, we will be having lunch so bring a dish to share. The mission is to provide a sense of security and comfort to children and teens in need through the gifts of new, homemade, washable blankets and afghans. Almost like a Quilting Bee, but no sewing! Please join us this year to become a blanketeer.

For more information contact Bettie Cozart or Linda Neff.
