Location is First Baptist West Church 73th and NW Cache Rd in Lawton, OK
 
PROGRAM Is CHRISTMAS POTLUCK
HEART CHALLENGE

From the President
Hello Guild Members!
 Thanksgiving just finished and Christmas will soon be upon us. Why does it always happen for me, I am a day late and a dollar short as the saying goes. Actually not the dollar short, just the time. Hope everyone managed to stay well this past holiday. My family has been busy passing around the flu bug. Just when we think it is gone, it rears it's ugly head and returns.
Pot luck is on the agenda for our next meeting. Always a fun time with lots of good food. Don't forget to bring your donations for the C. Carter Crane Shelter. Hope you are working on your heart quilt for display at the art gallery in downtown Lawton. This will be my first piece to be hung in an art gallery! Don't forget to bring your art creation for turn in at meeting. Also, always fun is to see your Brag and Drags. It will soon be time to gather a committee together and work on our next slate of Guild Officers. Please open your heart and mind to the idea of holding an office.
See you soon.
Peggy Coe
Guild President
