An interesting exhibit is held at the close of each year to which the public is cordially invited. Records of their home tasks, stories of their sewing experiences, darnings, patches, fancy buttonholes, aprons, various undergarments, and dresses are on exhibit.


At present plans are being made to provide a sewing machine for the girls. This will be much appreciated for a few feel that they must leave the club as they haven't a machine in their home.
