FCE Club: Hickory Creek

Vicky Gibbs, club treasurer, conducted the August meeting of Hickory Creek Family and Community Education Club that was held at the Extension office. Carolyn Womack was a guest for the day and Betty Moore read from II Timothy and lead a prayer.

Hilda Lytle, extension leader, gave a presentation on calcium and how important it is to the body. She gave examples of how much calcium the body has at different ages with the most calcium during the teen years. It is very important in our older years to prevent bone loss.

Cultural Arts Exhibit was Aug. 11 at the Extension annex with winners progressing to Crossville for the state event. The mini conference will be in Crossville and the local fair is also coming up in September.

Volunteers are needed for the ladies’ building and to take in entries. Members are encouraged to enter as many items as possible.

A discussion was held on ideas for the club booth underneath the grandstand, with the theme being Family Education.
