CLUB CHATTER

Sep. 28—50 Extension Homemakers

The 50 Extension Homemakers met at 1 p.m. September 21 at the Extension Office.

Isabelle Royse, president, called the meeting to order followed by the pledges. Becky offered devotions from Max Lucado, "God's Name in Your Heart." For cultural arts, she shared an article from an R.E.M.C. publication titled "Painting the Towns" regarding different things painted in various Indiana locations highlighting their area's history.

Judy Kessens read the Thought of the Month, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." Bertha Head led in the Song of the Month, "School Days." We sang "Happy Birthday" to Ruth Smith.

Ten members answered roll by stating the elementary school they attended. Isabelle attended one-room schools, and Deloris Tays attended a two-room school. The rest of us attended regular K- or 1-8 elementary schools.

Juanita read the secretary's report for August which was approved as read. She issued new address/call trees to everyone present. Bertha gave a treasurer's report.

Isabelle announced that sewing day was successful. Finished shorts are 101 large, 45 medium, 66 small. Several more are in different stages of completion. Patti expressed her appreciation for everyone who sews/crochets/crafts/donates for filling the Christmas boxes.

For Health and Safety, Bertha highlighted Autumn Risks and Tips. She related many good suggestions for our safety. Following the Club Prayer, Patti presented the lesson, "Online Seniors: A Quick-Guide for Staying Safe & Sane Online."

The club made a donation to the Link Observatory in memory of Sheilah's husband, Goethe Stone Link, Jr.
