White Pine Chapter

Michigan

General Chapter Information:
The White Pine Chapter was chartered in 1978.  We currently have thirty primary members and five plural members.  Our membership includes five Life Members.

Meeting Times and Locations: 
We meet on the first Tuesday evening of the month at the Church of Christ, 1325 North Center Road, Saginaw MI.  Members gather starting at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. There is no meeting in July and we socialize at a picnic in August.  Our December meeting is a Christmas dinner in Frankenmuth.

Special Activities:
White Pine members stitch and frame individualized samplers for new homeowners of the Habitat for Humanity homes in nearby counties. We knit baby caps for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw. We collect and send needlework kits to Sam Houston Army Rehabilitation Center in Texas. We have an ornament exchange at our Christmas dinner for those who wish to participate. We recognize the stitching accomplishments of members at each meeting with TGIF Awards, Thank Goodness It’s Finished.
