Cane Creek Community Club celebrated its 100th anniversary in September. The club originated in 1917 and was known as the Victory Homemakers. They held all-day meetings in members' homes where they learned new skills, made quilts and completed sewing projects. Men also attended, cutting wood, making house repairs, and helping with other work on the farms. Today, the club strives to continue the good works begun so many years ago by distributing lap robes to nursing facilities, giving quilts to those who have suffered loss, and supporting community activities.
Sept. 13, club members traveled to Grandin for a celebratory luncheon at the Lil' Black River Cafe. They also shopped at Ozark Produce where they have many fresh vegetables and beautiful mums.
The October meeting was held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 11, at Twin Towers. Roll call was sharing of memories of World War II. Among memories recalled were the rationing during the war, buying of saving stamps to help the war effort, and concern for family/friends who were serving in the military.
Ruth Anderson showed a quilt block she is appliqueing for a friend and told about other quilts she has made for family and friends. After lunch at Ozark Country Market, everyone went to the Margaret Harwell Art Museum where they enjoyed the thread-painting fiber works of Karen Linduska and the abstract wood sculptures of Adam Sobas, All the displayed projects were admired for their beauty and workmanship.
The next meeting will be at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 15, at the home of their hostess, Glenda Phillips. Roll call will be what we were doing the day President Kennedy was assassinated. Everyone was asked to bring their lap robes.
