FCE Club: Midway

Jean Rogers and Dora Coope served as hostesses for the March meeting of Midway Family and Community Education Club held at the Community Center. Irene Fuston presided at the meeting.

For the devotional, Jean Cantrell read from Romans 13 and “Clouds.” Special project leaders Jean Rogers and Mildred Spicer gave information on “Tune Out Violence” on April 5 and a St. Judes card project. A reading report was given by Linda Schlimmer titled, “Short Guide to a Happy Life.”

The club roll call was answered with “a favorite bird” by 12 members and guest, Betty Boren. Club secretary Angie Spicer and treasurer Betty Grissom gave their monthly reports.

Linda Schlimmer reported that the friendship quilt has been completed. Schlimmer and Irene Fuston completed a four-week class on heart care. Club members brought items for Families in Crisis and also cast their 2004 ballots for Best of the Best.

Monetary donations were given to the 4-H bread baking contest and to Walk for the Cure in memory of Dorothy Womack.

Celebrating March birthdays are Wilma Davenport and Dora Cooper. A meal of stir fry, rice, egg rolls, salad, desserts and fresh fruit was enjoyed by members. Schlimmer demonstrated the proper way to prepare a fresh pineapple.

Future projects include each member bring a new stuffed toy to be donated to the Warren County Child Advocacy Program. Easter baskets will be assembled and delivered to some members in our community that are sick and shut in. Items will be donated by club members.

Next month’s meeting will be April 7 at 10 a.m. and all visitors are welcome.
