For more than a 100 years, a network of friends in communities in Wilson County have shared a common goal:
- To learn through shared experiences
- To improve home and community life
- To strengthen adult education
- To promote projects which enhance family and community life
Through our rich history, we have grown from small community clubs to a worldwide network focused growth through education.
Craft Club meets every first Wednesday of each month and is open to all members and those who would like to join. For more information or to reserve a spot, please contact Carolyn Binkley at 615-449-8228.
