What can citizens of Barbour County do about gun violence and crime? What can we do to help curtail crime that happens in our neighborhoods too regularly? What can we do to protect ourselves in violent situations?

The Ladies of Christ Child Circle reflect upon the organization’s benevolent beginnings around Annie Dent’s kitchen table. Guest speaker Lindsey Bennett, director of Fendall Hall, shared that CCC began as a sewing circle in which Annie taught her daughters and a few friends to sew. Eventually, these young seamstresses created newborn layettes that were donated to impoverished local families. Weekly meetings of fellowship, coffee, tea and hand-stitching evolved into a century-old service organization which continues to greatly impact many children of Eufaula and Barbour County. Today as a United Way agency, CCC coordinates its efforts with other local organizations to serve this community’s families.
