Anne Ricciardelli opened the June meeting by using her gavel, something she’s not been able to do very often this year. We had 60 members in attendance at our new location, Delaware Township Community Center. What a lovely and spacious facility!
We were able to gather some food and staple items for the Township’s pantry and the collection basket was brimming with $1.00 donations. Thank You Mudsock Quilters for being so generous. The Delaware Township Government Office
