FCE Clubs
Members of Hickory Creek Family and Community Education Club spent only a brief time conducting business before making final preparations for the Warren County A&L Fair.
Beulah McBee led the business portion followed by a working session to complete items being taken to the Country Store. Included were turkey necklaces, turkey door hangers, scarecrow necklaces, fall pins and angel pins.
Mrs. McBee, Sandra Houston, Vicki Gibbs, Dottie LaLonde and Betty Moore went to the fairgrounds in order to clean out part of the Women’s Building where they were to enter items on Saturday.
When the day’s projects were finished, the group went to a local restaurant for a light meal together.
Lucky Northside
Lucky-Northside Family and Community Education Club members and guests enjoyed lunch together at a local eatery Aug. 28 before going to the 4-H room at the Extension office for the remainder of the meeting.
Sandra Griffith presided and in the absence of Ila Vae Boren, devotional leader, Extension Agent Hilda Lytle worded a prayer as the thought for the day. Guests welcomed included Wilma Davenport, Timmy Burkhalter, Liz McMillen and Mrs. Lytle. A monthly report was given by Francis Halcomb.
Mrs. Boren had attended a Family Life Leader Training earlier that week and lots of information was distributed to the attendees on friendship patterns, self-esteem, and so forth.
Mrs. Lytle presented a program of Healthy Benefits of Soy in Our Diets and she mentioned soy substitutes.
The FCE Council yard sale was reported as a huge success. Linda Schlimmer and Irene Fuston entered items in the District Cultural Arts competition held Sept. 18 in Crossville. Mrs. Boren volunteered to work Sept. 12 at the bloodmobile. Warren County is responsible for hostess duties at Christmas In October, a project of Coffee, Marion, Grundy and Warren counties.
The members plan to travel to a Crossville restaurant for lunch prior to conducting the next monthly meeting.
