“A Penny for Mama’s Dreams” was the title of a poem read by Jean Cantrell when Midway Family and Community Education Club’s May 5 meeting was held at the community center. The devotional leader also read Psalms 67,1-7 and Linda Schlimmer led the group as they said the Pledge to the Flag.

Irene Fuston presided and roll call was answered by 13 members as they identified their favorite pie. Reports were given by Angie Spicer and Betty Grissom.

Dora Cooper displayed the Friendship quilt that she and others have completed. Extension Agent Hilda Lytle gave several interesting facts on the mosquito, in addition to upcoming schedule for the County Council meeting set June 8 and June Dairy Day, June 14.

During Awards and Recognition Day, Midway Club received first place for scrapbook and first place for secretary book.

The club finalized plans to cater two dinners and members provided pies for the Black House May Day program. Mrs. Fuston, Mrs. Schlimmer and Mrs. Spicer will attend the mini conference and instructing a knitted dish cloth class will be Bernice Champagne, Mrs. Schlimmer and Mrs. Fuston.
