January 2024

Mavis Brown was our guest speaker this month. She presented a slide show and talked to us about life in the Arctic from when she lived there for 9 years in the 1970s.  

She brought many samples of clothing made from 'duffle' (felted Hudson's Bay blanket material), furs, and animal hides.
