The  women's  guild

On May 31, 1906, a "Frauenverein" was organized, at St. Peter's Church, with eight charter members.  The meetings were held monthly, in the homes of the members, and no refreshments were allowed to be served.  This organization continues today under the name of THE WOMEN'S GUILD.


Today the women say, 

"We are The Women's Guild (aka Guild) and all women, of the church, are invited to join.  We might meet at the church, in a member's home, or take a road trip.  Watch the Newsletter for meeting dates and times."


BUT LET IT BE KNOWN -- SOME THINGS CHANGE:

WE HAVE REFRESHMENTS!"

This is a very good picture of the ladies of the Guild, but it is not a typical picture.  They rarely pose for pictures and are rarely all quiet at the same time.  These ladies are way too busy to sit still and  enjoy each other's company way too much to be silent.


The Women's Guild has meetings, but the meetings are not scheduled as in the past.  The meetings might have a short business report, a program, and refreshments or the meeting might be an outing.  


REMEMBER:  ALL WOMEN ARE INVITED TO ATTEND GUILD.


During the year, various fundraisers are held to support the Guild activities.  Over the years, there have been purse sales, art sales, and, most likely, a fair number of pies and cakes have been sold.


GUILD ACTIVITIES

The Guild --- Well, how do you describe a wonderful group of ladies getting together?  Instead of trying to describe them, join us as our Guild traveled to a café and gift shop, celebrated Christmas, and joined together for breakfast and a craft.

guild christmas 2019

The ladies met at The Little Cathedral, in Roann, Indiana, for their Christmas celebration.   A good time was had by all.  Since it is often hard to tell exactly what is going on, a few elves arrived to explain the afternoon.  Hopefully, the elves do not offend anyone.  ----

                                      MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A NEW YEAR FILLED WITH JOY.
