Homemakers News
Hello Estill Homemakers,
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. We have been busy.
We took a trip as an Estill Homemaker group to Wilson’s Nursery and Sage Café in July. We saw lots of pretty plants and flowers, visited their butterfly habitat, and ate in their Café. It was an enjoyable day to socialize, shop, and enjoy good food. We hope to plan more adventures in the coming year. Let us know any trip ideas you think would be enjoyed by the group.
We have also had some learning lessons from our agent. I attended a recent Lunch and Learn about Fall Prevention. There were guests from Apex Physical Therapy presenting what programs they have available and we enjoyed good food. Judy has more learning opportunities planned this year for anyone who would like to join us and learn new things. In August she will be having a Financial lesson.
Meetings will resume in September so stay tuned. We currently have a few different groups that meet, and we hope to grow our memberships and groups this year. Any ideas for a new group please let us know. We are working on forming a group to meet once a month at the Irvine School Apartments. I am looking forward to all the new things coming up this year.
Bluegrass area is working on the Bluegrass Area Homemakers Meeting. It will be held in October in Powell County this year. We have taken a group the past couple of years to Madison and Nicholas Counties and hopefully some of you will be able to attend this year aa well. Information and sign up can be found in this newsletter.
Hope to see you all at many of our exciting events!
