Dear Friend,
You
may not know us; we are the Extension Homemakers of Gallatin County. We would
like to tell you about ourselves.
We

Today
there are 7 clubs which have been formed somewhat, but not entirely, along
geographical lines throughout
Many
clubs are in involved with community projects or activities and use some of the
money raised throughout the year to sponsor these efforts. We have supported
H.O.P.E. (Helping Our People in Emergencies), Jamaican Computer Lab project,
Ovarian Cancer Research program, Community Baby Shower, Relay for Life, 4-H Camp

While
education and leadership skills are important, perhaps the most wonderful
benefits of Extension Homemakers are the fellowship and sharing that come about
from membership.
In
addition to monthly meetings, we are involved in other things in the community.
Several times a year we offer educational classes which are open to everyone in
the community. These vary from creative arts, such as making a
“basket-of-the-month” to Fall Into Gardening, from Speedy Suppers to
Building Assets in Today’s Youth.
We
“Walk Away the Pounds” everyday, Monday through Friday, at noon during
January and February. The Health Department offers Body Recall classes in the
fall, which involves exercises while sitting in a chair. The Holiday Panorama
renews our Christmas Spirit each November and the Tasting Bee raises funds that
go to our scholarship fund for a college student. Our Homemaker year kick-off
begins with an old-fashioned ice cream social in August.
You are invited to join Gallatin County Extension Homemakers. Dues are only $5.00 a year which includes a $1.00 donation to the Ovarian Cancer fund.
