U. S. Military Working Dogs and Handlers

The photos above are of items purchased by Rhea-Craig Chapter DAR for the Military Working Dog Teams. We followed a list provided by the organization so we would meet the needs and wants of the dogs and handlers. The items were purchased with funds we collected at this year's National Muscadine Festival in downtown Sweetwater, TN. Fair-goers were very generous and it is with their generosity that we were able to gather these items for a deployed dog and handler. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

Historical Quilts

Marcia Long presented a program on antique quilts - from her own collection. Marcia's historic quilts have been exhibited in museums and photos of many have been published in books. Because most of her quilts were inherited Marcia was able to share a story of each one.
