That's what Extension Homemakers is all about.

LaRue County Extension Homemaker Organization is a part of the state association. For some, Extension Homemakers is a chance to gain information to benefit themselves and their families. For others, it's a way to become involved with a group who cares about you and the community and wants to help make it better. Many Homemakers will find opportunities to become leaders and to strengthen leadership skills.

As an Extension Homemaker you will receive research-based information that will help you learn more about:
  • Nutrition & Foods
  • Family Resource Management
  • Clothing & Textiles
  • Housing & Home Furnishings
  • Family Life
  • Cultural Arts
  • Health & Safety
Membership

There are currently two kinds of membership to the Homemaker organization:

  • Club Membership (Current dues rate- $12.00 per/yr)
