President’s Notes

By Edna Crain

Well, it has been another busy first six months of 2016. We had a great Child Advocacy Day (CAD)! We were so pleased we had many members attend and help with the dolls. Over 300 were brought and we gave out over 200. So we have a great start on next year. I have received several letters, calls and pictures from the representatives and senators. Everyone pitched in and we had the dolls distributed in short order. Thank you so much for your help. After the CAD the Board met and we had a successful meeting, ideas for the Fall Conference were discussed and some implemented.

My sister, Shirlene traveled with me to the

District meetings this spring. We enjoyed

meeting everyone and we had good meetings

with great food. I love learning the different

ideas and programs that were presented. The

Hat

Lady was great, and since I scrapbook her

beautiful hats took my eye. Thank you District

Directors for a wonderful job!

Vice-president’s Update

As a whole, the four county group is keeping busy with life and all the activities associated with daily living. The district recently tested Mexican recipes for the Today’s Farmers Magazine. All four counties received copies of the 30 + recipes to review after the testing. The district is looking forward to the magazine coming in our mailboxes later this spring. Most of us are getting into the groove of warmer weather and outdoor activities.

Lincoln County participated in the essay/art contest with 60 plus essays to enjoy reading. We purchased dolls for the 2016 CAD event in Jefferson City. Gently worn clothes have been donated to the area emergency room. Board books are bought and getting processed for delivery to the newborn nursery for the Books for Newborn program.

Greetings from central Missouri. Past Central District Director, Georgia Reid, introduced me in the December issue of the Messenger. I am following in Georgia’s footsteps and so appreciate her help and guidance. Your MAFCE had a productive executive board meeting in Jefferson City on April 6 and 7. These amazing women planned the 2016 State Conference and I hope you consider attending the conference. News of the dates and locations are in this issue.

Child Advocacy Day was very successful with a great crowd of FCE women distributing dolls to legislators in our beautiful Capitol building on April 6. Central District contributed to the success of the day.

Our Central District Spring Fling was held at Columbia Hy-Vee on S-63. We had an inspirational meeting with President Edna presenting a valuable workshop on “Teamwork”. Our afternoon speaker was Tish Johnson, from Columbia’s Extension Office. Tish had a slide show of her travels to South Africa on a cultural exchange program.

Central District clubs stay busy and active. The Hatton and Fulton Clubs listed donations to Head Start, Schools, Faith Maternity Home, Girl’s Town of Missouri, PET, the Youth Expo, Ronald McDon-ald House, Malawi project, and coupons for the mili-tary.

Thank you, Anna Click, for an impressive report and for helping at District meetings. Chariton County’s Taylor Golden Rule continues with their after school program contributions and giving nursery rhyme books to new babies in their area. Pettis County’s Prairie Ridge/Flat Creek club contributes to Sedalia’s Ag-Expo by distributing books to youngsters along with a literacy folder for parents. Meetings are held to work on dolls for child Advocacy Day. Cole County continues their volunteer activities and we want to thank Diana Finnie for her excellent coordination of Child Advocacy Day for MAFCE.

We encourage you to make plans now to gather with “old” friends and meet new FCE friends at the conference at Inn at Grand Glaize to help celebrate 80 years of FCE!

Spring brings beauty with its greenery and flowers. Just like Spring, Southeast District’s programs and projects produced a colorful array of beauty. Beginning on the District level, a New Club Grant, established following the 2015 Fall District Meeting, was granted to the DA Club in Butler County. This grant for $100 is to help provide programs and/or projects, plus gives a complete set of Hearth Fires and a set of flags. A first-time attendee registration scholarship for the National FCE Conference, July 14-17, in Memphis, has been awarded to June Romine. The Spring District Meeting in Ripley County, April 21, provided informational programs on Building Team Work and Stolen People, Stolen Dreams (abuse) and where the District 4th grade Essay/Art Contest Winners were honored and pre-sented their prize money. Butler County’s, Friendly United Neighbors, Show-Me Stars and Crazy Cousins contr ibution to the colorful array included participation in the 30th Ag Expo where 10,000+ visitors attended the two-day event. Members worked the concessions, hospitality room, information booth and served breakfast to the exhibitors. They sponsored the 4th grade Essay/Art Contest where they garnered 47 entries from 3 schools. Plus, they added a new project---making weighted blankets for the autistic. Cape Girardeau County added a hodge-podge of programs and activities. To finance their projects they had pound auctions, garage sales, auctioning of the hostess gift and $1 book sales. Examples of how these funds were used include: Cheerful Country Doers spent hours preparing and donating fabric for the county’s “Love by the Pound” Autism project.

SOUTHWEST DISTRICT

Dorene Yearian

The SW District has not met since the May Spring District Meeting. At the last district advisory meeting in April, 2016, the district voted to add a state conference scholarship in addition to the one full scholarship for first timers. This new scholar-ship will be for a full registration for anyone who wants to go to conference. All they have to do is apply and if they are the recipient they will get a check for the full registration at conference. The district has a policy of doing a 50/50 at the fall district meeting with the proceeds going to a worthy cause. This fall 50/50 worthy cause will be decided at the August Advisory Meeting. At the April advisory meeting when informed the SE District gives $100, a set of Hearth Fires, and a flag set to any new club in the district – it was voted the SW would do the same. Laclede County volunteered to do the favors and center pieces for the State Conference. Webster, Greene, & Jasper (Gnosis) are

experiencing sickness and age so they do not have anything to report at this time.
