Note from the President– June, 2023

Hello, everyone!

Summer is almost here, but the sunny weather has had us fooled for a while. I hope this year is turning out nicely for you!

There are some important things are happening this month:

The Annual Meeting is on Friday, June 9th at 11:00. Reservations need to be made and the cost is $5.00 per person. Lee’s Famous Recipe will be bringing the food for us. Amy or Chris Coulter will be our speaker. We will be getting a new President!

June 30th is the deadline for getting our Work Reports in for the Education Committees, such as, Cultural Arts, Volunteer Hours, 4-H, Management and Safety, Food & Nutrition. Please, fill those out for us and get them to the Extension Office. If your club needs help, reach out to me, Julie. I can help.

Many of our clubs may be going on day trips to see and eat at a different place. Stay safe.

It has been fun and hard work being your Council President! It has been my pleasure. I know you will support Diana “Dee” Colvin in her position as President. She is a wonderful woman with many skills and a big heart.

Lovingly here for you,

JulieBradford

Homemakers In Action

Bring your own supplies or use ours. Spend sometime with like minded individuals. Art can be therapy. Come relax with us.

Lots of salads to go around. Nelson County Homemakers provided lunch to over 100 people. They also recruited new members.

Nelson County had six people attend the KEHA State Meeting. Lois Pressgrove taught classes about potting plants and health information cards and sang in the KEHA Choir.

Dee Colvin wrote a grant and received $300 to develop and provide a Senior Resource guide to the community.
