Daytime Circle – NEXT meeting – December 10, 2024
The Daytime Circle will meet at 12:00 on 12/10/24 for our Christmas themed program. We will bring personal care items for the ladies at the Women’s Shelter, wrapping paper & tape to donate so that the ladies can wrap gifts for their children, and Christmas Ornaments for a white elephant gift exchange among the members who can attend. We will have purchased $100 in gift cards for the ladies at the shelter to shop for their children with them at the shelter. We will report on our Thanksgiving Meal for the Women’s Shelter.

Barbara Baxter and team working on Christmas Lotion project!
Thank you to Barbara for being the lead person on organizing the 98 lotions that are given to the Corn-Weatherford resident plus our FUMC GEMS. Faye Henson personally purchased 70 lotions from various Dollar Tree locations as she travelled across OK recently because our local supply from Dollar Tree in Clinton was not able to provide the quantity we needed. Members are working to finish sacking, decorating, and attaching a Merry Christmas message from UWF.
