Tampa


BY WINNELLE HORNE
CORRESPONDENT
 Log Cabin Quilters met
Thursday, Jan. 25 at the Levy
County Quilt Museum.
 After the overnight rain,
members finally got to the
museum and quilting went on
until about 2 p.m. There are
always two or three or four at
the four quilts that are being
worked on.
 Tuesday Jarrod and seven
boys were out and they really
did a day's work. We had two
80 yards to be used this year
for our quilting. Two cracked
and hulled out pecans and
all of this is so much help to
us. They do the many things
that keep our museum going
great.


 Marie and I will be going
to Tampa to take the quilts,
crafts and dolls to the State
Fair. Some will be going
Tuesday to help judge and
what a great time we have.
Then on the Feb. 13, we go
back on the bus to see what
has ribbons.
 Dinner was so great today. It
seems we have the best cooks
and today was fried potatoes,
collards and cornbread,
Layana and Cuban bread,
fruit salads, chocolate pie and
Joanell's pound cake. Twenty
members and one guest were
present.
 Winnelle Home is the
director of the Levy County
Quilt Museum.

WWII vets will meet Feb. 8
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
 The next WW II Veterans Club will meet on Thursday
Feb. 8 at 11:30 a.m. at the Lighthouse Restaurant in Fanning
Springs.
 Fifty-two members and friends were present when we met at
Akins Bar-B-Q in Bell in January. It was a joyous occasion.
 In congratulating one couple, Richard and Florence Egles
on their 60th wedding anniversary, we found that five couples
had done the same. Then those married 50 years and more
were counted, at which point we decided we could enter the
Guinness Book of Records. War stories were exchanged and
a good time was had by all.
 On Thursday Feb. 1 at 1 p.m., Mike Bogosta was laid to
rest at the military cemetery in Bushnell. Mike was a faithful
member of our organization and will be missed.
 All WW II veterans are welcome tojoin in the camaraderie.
If you have any questions, please call Dick Halvorsen at 352-
542-7697.


Church will present simulcast

of author Beth Moore

 In a special message titled, "Straight Talk About God's
Deliverance," Moore will discuss the fact that deliverance is
for everyone-no matter how you got stuck, no matter how
long you've been down, whether you think you deserve it or
not. From her own personal experience, Moore will share
the healing to be found in Jesus and will present a message of
hope. Says Moore, "If God could lift me out of the pit and set
my feet on sturdy ground, then He can get anyone out!"
 First Baptist Church of Williston, located at 339 E. Noble
Ave., Williston, is hosting this live simulcast event which
starts at 10:30 a.m. The doors will open at 9:30 a.m.

conference and the meal that will be provided.
