We meet at the Chatham United Methodist Church, 460 Main Street, Chatham, NJ., on the second Monday of each month, with the exception of October when we meet on the third Monday of the month. Our meetings begin at 6:45 p.m. For more information, please check us out on Facebook and perhaps join us at a meeting at the church.

Girl’s Dresses for Malawi

At a past meeting, Mary Browning extended an invitation to the guild to participate in the second annual sew'in day for making dresses for girls in Malawi. A project sponsored by the Liberty Corner and Basking Ridge Presbyterian churches. Although there are no sew'in days planned for this summer, there is always a need and if you'd like to contribute you can make the dresses at home.

The directions are here:
