Branson and surrounding communities have many talented and imaginative artists who work individually or as a group to produce the amazing art of a beautiful quilt, often as a special gift of recognition or comfort for those who serve and protect our communities or defend our nation’s freedoms.
On Wednesday, March 12, learn more about two such local groups as Kimberling Area Library hosts “Honoring First Responders and Veterans: Wellness for Warriors and Quilts of Valor” at Learning on Wednesday.
Join Rose Allen and Sue Munson of the Wellness for Warriors Quilting Group, which makes quilts for police officers, firefighters and veterans who are hospitalized at CoxHealth Branson. You’ll learn more about the group’s successful three-year history, which includes producing over 200 quilts and funding their work, as well as more about the actual process of constructing a work of art.
Betty Thomas, co-founder of Quilts of Valor of the Ozarks, will also share about her group’s mission, presentation process and their sponsorship program. All speakers will bring a selection of their artistic creations to view.
This informative presentation is also a good opportunity to find out how you can get involved, for great fellowship while serving those who serve us, with a donation of time or supplies. The session begins at 10:15 a.m. in the Library Community Room. Coffee and light snacks are provided; preregistration is not required, and attendance is free.
Kimberling Area Library is located at 45 Kimberling Blvd. in Kimberling City. Stay up to date on other Library events by visiting www.kalib.org.
