The Civilians have been working on a few projects, some to raise funds for Historic Preservation and some to raise funds to send care packages to our Modern Day soldiers overseas.  Please take a look and see if there is anything you would like to become involved with!  Donations of fabric, buttons and skill are always welcome!

We also welcome new ideas and would love to hear from you!

Mrs. Susan Petersen has been assembling quilt blocks since last season.  During the 2010 season we are asking Civilians to take time in camp or at home to embelish a quilt block with buttons, ribbon, embroidery, etc.  When all of the blocks are embelished, Mrs. Petersen  will assemble and back the quilt.  We will be selling raffle tickets all season and the final product will be raffled off. 

April 9-11 we will be participating in an event at Allaire State Park, Farmingdale, New Jersey.  This event will be a "Camp of Instruction" for arriving troops before being sent to the front lines.  We, the Ladies Aid Members, will be caring for the troops while in this camp.  We are in need of participants to demonstrate crafts, cook and guide tours in the military camp.

We will be packing and distributing a Ladies Aid Society Box at the Neshminy event May 1-2, 2010.  We are looking for donations of small period correct items for the box such as hard candies, soaps, combs, tobacco, cigars, buttons, etc.  All items must be generic as they will be distributed to the troops randomly.  We have plain brown paper and string to wrap the items for distribution.  If you would like to add items to the box, please contact Amy or Mary.

At the same time we are gathering items for the Neshaminy box, we would like to gather items to pack a box for our modern day soldiers.  The same types of items are good, i.e., hard candy, magazines, soaps, toiletries, small games.  We will send that box out some time in May after the Neshaminy event.

We have had hopes of compiling a cookbook for sale to benefit the civilians for a few years.  This year let's make a big effort to get this together.!

We are in need of your favorite recipes, old and new, to include in our cookbook.  There is no limit on the number of recipies you can submit.  To submit recipes or obtain more information please contact:
