Hand Painted Memory Boxes are supplied to local hospitals. 
The boxes are given to families who have lost
a child. Our heart felt sympathy for these families.

Just as a reminder, please finish the inside of the boxes 
and wax the inside rim so it won't stick.
Thanks again Ladies!

 To see the beautiful boxes our Members have already submitted, please click here.

MEMORY BOX PROGRAM

Members are asked to please come up with a variety of patterns so the boxes
aren't all the same. If you are stuck for ideas why not check out our Library
