The Star Spangled Banner was the flag that was flown during the fight with the British at Fort McHenry. It was the inspiration for Frances Scott Key when he wrote the poem "Defense of Fort M'Henry," which eventually became the National Anthem of the United States. This lesson will include historical and interesting facts, such as how the flag was sewn by a single, widowed mother on the floor of a brewery; how the pieces were cut from the flag and given away; how it was entrusted to the Smithsonian; and, painstaking efforts that were made to restore and preserve the flag. 

The CEOS Quilt & Fiber Club recently made 14 beautiful tote bags for Cabell Huntington Oncology women patients undergoing treatments for cancer. Each tote was filled with items to help brighten their day. If you are interested in our CEOS program, please do not hesitate to call our office at 304-272-6839 to learn more.
