Twiglets

I'm a member of the Twiglets. Isn't that the most ridiculous sounding name? I find it hard to believe a group of adult women actually named themselves that, but they did. The story is that 35 years ago the younger women in our area wanted to help with the hospital auxiliary. There was already a Twig group (the national name for branches of the hospital auxiliary) but these ladies were "old" and the young women wanted a group of their own. They named themselves the Twiglets. The ladies (now older than "old" themselves) assure me this is not the only Twiglet group but I just did an Internet search and didn't find any. Perhaps no one wants to fess up that there is such a group.
Our major fundraiser is the Christmas bazaar the beginning of December. We make Christmas craft items all fall. (The Chinese have nothing on us. We're not proud - we steal their ideas, or did they steal them from us in the first place?) Anyway, this coming weekend we expect to sell out once again in four hours raising several thousand dollars for the hospital. Not bad for a bunch of Twigs & Twiglets.
