Catalina Time Walkers Questers group met on February 14 to a program of “Jewelry Around the World” given by Kathy Turner who taught school for DoDDES, Department of Defense Dependent Schools, at various military bases around the world including Cuba and Italy. A selection of jewelry originating in European to Asian countries was purchased during her travels. Pearls, silver and gold items were reviewed and gold content from specific areas was discussed. Members also brought a variety of antique and favorite jewelry items to share.
Special guest Daphne Davis, Arizona state president, attended the meeting. She shared a variety of state initiatives plus the Arizona State Questers spring meeting information. This spring meeting will be celebrating the Diamond Jubilee, (75 years) of Questers. The Catalina Timewalkers group was complimented on growing enrollment and interesting programs.
