We meet on the first and third Saturdays of the month for a Sew Day. At noon on the first Saturday, we break for a guild meeting.
Dates for meetings may be changed due to holidays or conflicts. Check the Calendar page for possible changes.
We gather at the McSwain Agricultural Center at 2420 Tramway Road, Sanford, NC.
As a non-profit organization, community service is part of our undertakings.
