Easter Baskets, Canned Food Needed for Lilburn Co-Op
Lilburn Woman's Club donated 65 Easter baskets to the ministry this week.
The Lilburn Woman’s Club donated 65 professionally assembled Easter baskets to the Lilburn Cooperative Ministry this week after holding an Easter Basket workshop for club members.
The ladies who participated in the event came to the workshop loaded down with baskets, toys, school and art supplies and enough treats to complete the beautiful array of baskets.
According to Laurie Wexel, LWC’s Home Life Program Chair, “The Easter basket workshop was a resounding success. We had 16 members show up, and boy did we make baskets.”
