The Annisquam Sewing Circle celebrated their 175th Anniversary

This video explains a bit about the work of the Annisquam Sewing Circel. We are a group of over fifty-five members who meet from September through June for the friendship of neighbors we might not otherwise see and to organize and hold fund-raising events that support our Cape Ann community. There have been several cookbooks published, many annual Christmas Fairs held in the Annisquam Village Hall and Spring Plant Sales held on the lawn between the Annisquam Exchange and the Village Hall.. The newly added Gourmet Bake Sale, the Friday before the 4th of July, includes beautiful bouquets of flowers from members’ gardens held with the Annisquam Farmers’ Market on the lawn between the Annisquam Exchange and the Village Hall .

The Circle continues its work today and will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2037.

To receive an email about upcoming events, please send an email to FriendOfASC@gmail.com with Add Me! in the subject line.
