Members of the Moultrie Federated Guild provide refreshments for attendees at the Serenity House Candlelight Vigil , which honors the memory of those who have lost their lives due to domestic violence . From the left are Carolyn Chastain , Bobbie Key , Sonya Aldridge , and Judy Adcock .
“ Even though the pandemic temporarily altered the methods by which the Guild conducted business , these dedicated women remain committed to serving the community and will continue to seek innovative ways to accomplish their mission — just as they have for the past 76 years ,” said Jordan .
Some of the other fundraisers the Guild has done over the years to fund their community projects have been a Grand Ole Opry tribute show , a trash and treasure sale and , just recently , a fashion show .
On the Guild ’ s Facebook page can be found a statement that I think truly defines these ladies : “ The Moultrie Federated Guild has the opportunity to work with other women to improve the social , cultural and physical needs in our town . In so doing , we meet and make new friends , gain in knowledge , and become better citizens of our community .”
In 2015 , the Moultrie Federated Guild visited Stringfellow Elementary first graders and donated copies of ‘ Wet All Over : A Magic School Bus Adventure ’ — enough for each student in each class . On the back row are Yolanda Carter , Guild members Susan McCranie , Willette Pearson and Sandra Rogers , and Tret Witherspoon , who at that time was principal at Stringfellow .
