The Jonesboro Study Guild held its monthly meeting on March 24th. The program was presented by Marilyn Walker, who introduced her son, Jason, who spent four years in ROTC followed by four years in the Air Force, as the Special Guest Speaker. 

In attendance were May Saulters, Lisa McConthy, Rosemary Ewing, Paula Jimmerson, Stacy Albritton, Kathy Allen, Christie Weeks, Jolene Carson, Wilda Smith, Marilyn Walker, and Joann Teat.

After President May Saulters called the meeting to order, Jason delivered an engaging presentation on military patches, noting that he has collected approximately 3,000 patches over the years, explaining that their origins date back to the 1800s and that each era has had its own distinct designs. He further demonstrated how each patch has its own meaning and purpose, even those representing groups such as the Flying Tigers.

Following the presentation, the group moved to the discussion of new business, which included President May Saulters appointing a nominating committee consisting of Paula Jimmerson, Marilyn Walker, and Lisa McConthy, and asking that their report be ready for presentation at the April meeting.

At the end of the session, refreshments were served by meeting hosts Jolene Carson and Lisa McConthy.
