September 1, 2023 - The ladies of the Deep East Texas Council of Government's Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) meet every Wednesday and Thursday in Timpson on Park Plaza to finish quilts by hand stitching. The owner of the quilt provides the lining, batting and quilting thread to complete the quilt.
