Last weekend an amazing group of ladies (Left to Right: Patti Siebert, Laura Carnie, Rita Goehner, Jo Ann Townsend, Erica DaPonte, Rose Barcklay, Heidi McGrellis, and Vergene Mumper) gathered together to sew aprons for the health workers in Zambia! One lady purchased and donated all of the fabric. When the fabric shop owner found out what the project was all about, she reduced the price to 1/3 of the original cost. Being the perfectionists they are, the group decided they needed to wash and iron the fabric before making the aprons so the final products wouldn't shrink. An amazing 90-year-old volunteer stood at the ironing board for several hours patiently ironing the fabric!! Such dedication!
