We were honored to welcome Karly Beavers from Quilts of Valor Foundation's Woodside Quilting group to our June meeting. Karly shared the mission of Quilts of Valor and brought along two beautiful handmade quilts for members to admire.

I have had a few folks reach out to donate for upkeep, we would love to paint the metal sign this year, fix the posts that were hit, and add an information sign back. You can message me if you need address or more info.

Appreciate anyones help to clean up or assist with stones that have fallen over.
