Our Meetings
We meet once a month March thru December, usually on the 1st Monday of the month.
Meetings are held in Fellowship Hall at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 8760 37th Ave, Kenosha.
We begin at 6:30 p.m. with refreshments and fellowship, followed by the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Most meetings have a speaker or presentation, a short business meeting, door prize drawings and Show & Tell time to share our completed projects. Members are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for the Shalom Center.
