Our main focus for the last several years has been filling Comfy Sacks for Children's Services. Children's Services give us a list of items for the sacks and we sew the bags and fill them with the necessary items. We feel this is a very worthwile cause and it gives the children who are taken from their homes something to call their own.
We are a very active Branch and take part in the Highgate Fair which is held every September. We enter a project in the Group Theme Display and for the last two years have sponsored a Spelling Bee which seems to be gaining in popularity at the Fair. We send cards to shut ins in our area. We send a delegate to District and Area meetings and several of our members are involved at District and Area levels.
