			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Join us to make &#8220;Little Dresses for Africa&#8221;</h3>
<p><strong>When:</strong> Tomorrow &#8211; Friday, January 27th from 1:30 &#8211; 5pm or so<br />
<strong>Where:</strong> Christ United Methodist Church as part of &#8220;Piece and Quiet&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What: </strong>We will be making very simple dresses to send to little girls in Africa. See the website where they explain the project and give instructions. http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/. You can bring your sewing machine but don&#8217;t have to. We are working from a large stash of fabric Edna Laughter is donating so we have lots to choose from but you can bring your own to work on. We will supply the elastic and trim.</p>
<p>This has been a fun day of community, creativity and caring. Brings snack to share if you&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>Questions: Contact Diane Laughter at 503-291-9134 or <a href="mailto:diane.laughter@comcast.net?subject=Little Dresses">email her</a>.</p>
