Historical Photo’s of Hugs and Stitches 2002 - 2009

Thanks go to Rita who has been keeping a record of photo's, articles as well as thank you cards, etc. for Hugs and Stitches.   The first picture below was the founding group back in 2002.  Where did the time go.   Ten years later our group has grown in leaps and bounds.   Sadly, we've lost some members, but gladly, we've welcomed many wonderful women who share our mission - "To provide a warm and friendly atmosphere to its members, and to provide warmth and hugs in the projects that are donated to many different worthwhile organizations."
