2022 St. Louis Modern Quilt Guild Charity Project
The Women’s Safe House
The Women’s Safe House mission is to empower women and families to rebuild their lives free of domestic and sexual abuse through emergency services, education and advocacy. Mary Ann Owens, Director, will speak with our guild at the April meeting. If you would like information on the organization, please consider their website: www.twsh.org

individual accomplishments.
