THE WEDNESDAY GROUP
These ladies are knitters, crocheters, sewers, cross-stichers, needle pointers,
or anything that has to do with a needle. Their experience allows them to help out others. The ladies also
help out many local charities such as the Community Center in Amherstburg, the Hiatus House and The Richmond Nursing
home. The Wednesday Group meets every week from 1pm to 3:30pm. The cost each week is $1.00. If you are interested,

show off their projects and get advice and to enjoy
each other’s company.
Meetings are every third Monday of the month 6:30-8:30. Call the Gallery 519-736-2826
