Annual South Park Women’s Club Craft Show Cancelled
Due to the Corona virus, South Park Women’s Club (SPWC) will not be holding their October craft show.

Kathy Butler, Ways & Means Chairman is hoping, to see all crafters, customers in the spring.

The club's officers are hoping to continue this year even with the pandemic, whether in person or virtually.

They are hoping one day soon, club members will be able to get together in same room, to sit and socialize with each other without the fear of getting ill.
