Women's League Thursday meeting at the Coldspring Community Center had Charlene Smith as a guest speaker. She spoke about the SJC Senior Center of which she is Administrator. Charlene spoke of the history of the Center and how the resale shop is vitally important to the continuation of the services it supplies. Over 1,000 meals every month are delivered to shut in seniors and to those who come to dine at the center.
Others joined Charlene in explaining how the resale shop is so important by showing outfits they were wearing were from the shop and one was on display by the podium. Most items are $1 or a little more. The outfit on the stand was priced at $3.50! Judy Chatham wore a complete outfit from the store, as did all the speakers, with a beautiful necklace which cost her $3.
If you have not visited the resale shop, you should make time. Apart from clothes and jewelry, art work, china and glassware, books and furniture and more are on sale.
