The 07 April 2026 Patriotic Bee Meeting will be held at 1000 (a/m), at Englewood Presbyterian Church, 100 So. Englewood Drive, Rocky Mount, NC 27804.

Welcome, Patriotic friends.  For those of you that missed the March meeting, we talked with Pastor Rob from the church and decided to do a QOV presentation on Sunday, May 24th.  All members present agreed.  It will take place after church services, which Pastor Rob says is usually over around 11:30.  As of now we also talked about having refreshments and social after as well.  Sign-Up Sheet for Refreshment Volunteers for the Presentation will circulate at our 07 April Meeting.

If you need material for any of your Patriotic or QOV donations, please remember you can give me a call and set a time to come and shop from our Patriotic Bee fabric stash.  My number is:  xxx-xxx-xxxx.

I hope to have some pillowcases cut out and we could sew them at the meeting.  If you prefer, you could take some home to sew.

Please bring something you are working on, if you would like ~OR~ sew pillowcases.  I will have an iron and my ironing board at the meeting.  I also hope to have a few QOV kits cut out.   Sign-Up Sheet for future Quilt Kit Volunteers will also be available at our 07 April Meeting.

FYI:  For the privilege of FREE use of Englewood Presbyterian Church for our meetings, we are asked to donate Food Items for their Backpack Program.  This is NOT a ONE-TIME request, we will continue donating if we are using the church facilities.  The following is a preliminary list of Food Items they need.  More items will be added as the NEED arises:
