Club members recently contributed to the arts in Sweetwater County by helping with food service at the Actors’ Mission’s production of “Love Letters” by A.R. Gurney. Serving up chicken soup, rolls, and cookies, the club helped the theater in it’s mission to feed the body and nourish the mind for all those who came to enjoy the show. Members were given a tour of the Broadway on the last night, and had our pictures taken with the famous signature wall.
