Spring is in the air and we brought it in right with our March meeting. We had so much fun making our baskets. Jenny Antoline from Gypsy Baskets came and helped us makes some really beautiful baskets. I got some pics of baskets in progress but not any finished so if you finished yours please share a pic on our Facebook page!
We were blessed this meeting to have 5 wonderful speakers! Lauren spoke to us about CASA. She explained it's role and what would be expected of us as volunteers. It's a wonderful program! If you missed the meeting or just want more info you can visit their website HERE. Sally Hood spoke to us about the Faith Refuge of Wichita Falls. It's an amazing facility, helping women and children to get back on their feet and giving them the resources to do so. You can read more about how you can help and donate HERE. Sheila and Lisa visited us from the Children's Home a part of the Children's Aid Society. They offer a safe place for children and teens to go to escape the streets or unsafe home conditions. There are many ways that you can help them including but not limited to donating time, money, and clothes. Read more about them HERE. Beth Moret filled us in on what Grace Ministries is and how we can volunteer or help out. Grace Ministries offers food assistance as well as help with utility bills and rent. Read more about them HERE and how you can help. And our very own Alia spoke to us briefly about the Meals on Wheels program in Burkburnett and how and where to go if you are interested in doing a route for them.
Add all the above with some GREEN food for St. Patty's Day and I guess you could say we had a pretty awesome morning. Our winner of "Best Dish" this month was Jill Moody! She made some amazing Spinach & Artichoke Dip. You can find the recipe in the Recipe Tab above.
