Happy November to all of you. There are lots of
things to cover in this month’s newsletter. First, I’d
like to thank everyone who helped plan all the events
of Homemaker’s Week 2018. This week is always a
beneficial membership drive that helps recruit and
celebrate Extension Homemakers. Thanks for all your
hard work decorating the library, cooking and
decorating for the tasting party, bringing items for the
silent auction, leading and attending craft classes, and
everything in between. I look forward to seeing the
final count of how much membership increased after
all of your recruitment efforts.
Thank you so much for increasing your attendance at
Leader Lessons this year. In September and in
October you came and participated in the “Wardrobe
Trends” and “Life Story” lessons with great numbers.
I just want to thank you for that and remind you that
any and everyone is welcome to attend the
Homemaker Leader Lessons. Feel free to invite a
friend, neighbor, or family member to attend.

From the Agent
Lancaster Road Lancaster Road Homemaker Club met Oct 3, 2018.
There were 13 members in attendance. The plans for
Homemaker week were outlined. Members
volunteered to make finger foods for the Tasting party.
Additionally, members were encouraged to keep track
of their volunteer hours. And, reminded to get their
membership dues and enrollment forms turned in
before Nov. 20.
Before sharing lunch together, our recreation
committee chairperson, Mary Lee Furr, challenged us
with a thought provoking word search.
We enjoyed a potluck at the Extension Office followed
by a lesson on Wardrobe Trends presented by Suzette
Keffer.
Our next meeting will be Nov 7. We will be sharing
pizza at the Boyle Co Extension office.
“Boyle County Judge Executive Harold McKinney
presents a proclamation declaring Oct. 14 - 20, 2018,
as Official Homemakers Week in Kentucky. Receiving
the proclamation are Homemakers Rita Bloom and
Thelma Mills.”
Perryville Happy Fall! Greetings from the Perryville Club!! Our
October meeting was held October 10th at the
Extension Office and we had one new member to join!
Yeah!!
Vice President Janice Purdy conducted the meeting
and Mildred Ellis presented the lesson on Wardrobe
Trends. We got volunteer readers for our Reading
Program at Perryville Elementary School. We'll be
reading once a month to the kindergarten, first grade, and special education classes. We're planning a trip to
Bread of Life Cafe in Liberty, KY where we'll have
lunch, take a tour of their campus, and deliver our
donations to their Galilean Home.
Our next meeting is November 14 at 11:00 at Southern
Plate Catering, 126 Church St. in Danville.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Wilderness Trail
Wilderness Trail held its October meeting on October
4 at the Extension Office. Hostess was Marian
Gibson. We were happy to welcome a new member,
Georgia Long. Our main business of the meeting was
to make our plans for the Homemakers Week
activities. We also encouraged our members to keep
track of their volunteer hours. Five of our members
attended the Tasting Party and Silent Auction on
October 15.
REPORT FROM THE
CHARITIES COMMITTEE
The Charities Committee thanks all Boyle County
Homemakers who submitted recommendations for
recipients for donations from the Jane Gessaman
Memorial Fund. Our committee met with
representatives from seven different charities. All
were worthy, and it was difficult to make choices.
In the end, this is how we allocated the $2000 in this
year's fund: $500 each to Happy Feet, the Gladys
Project, and Shepherd's House; $200 each to the
Forkland Community Center and Boy Scout Troop 27;
$100 to Celebrate Recovery. Pictures of the
presentations were printed in the October 17 edition of
the Advocate-Messenger, with the headline,
"Homemakers Making a Difference." These donations
are one BIG way that we DO make a difference!
The Charity Committee members who have served 2
years are now ready to roll off. Each club needs to find
one new representative to serve on this committee for
the coming year. Everyone start thinking about new
charities to recommend for donation.
UPCOMING CRAFT CLASSES
We've got some exciting classes planned for
November and December. Register early because
class sizes are limited. If you find you cannot attend
after registering, please call back to cancel so
someone else can take your spot. Also, when you
register, ask if there are supplies the student needs to
bring.
