2019 OUTAGAMIE COUNTY HCE PROGRAM BOOK

PLEASE KEEP FOR THE ENTIRE 2019 YEAR!CHANGE: Change can be defined in many different ways.

VERB• make or become different:• make or become a different substance entirely; transform: • alter in terms of...

NOUN• the act or instance of making or becoming different: • the substitution of one thing for another: • an alteration or modification: • a new or refreshingly different experience:

Last year, it was determined we would have the program book take a different format. We will not have a newsletter six times a year – rather quarterly. The program book will serve as the first notification/newsletter of the year of upcoming events. KEEP THIS BOOKLET all year long!

The next newsletter will come out in spring 2019 with updates and additions to programs and meetings. In between we will be sharing via emails and other means of communication to share updates concerning the organization.

We welcome your comments and reactions to the change!

Sincerely,

Outagamie County HCE Executive Board

Wisconsin Association for Home and Community Education

What is HCE?(Home and Community Education)

How many times have you been asked that question? I think we have all heard the question a number of times. In an effort to give you a short, quick, answer for that question, we have written a few suggestions for you.

1. HCE is a non-profit organization that partners with UW-Extension Family Living Programs, at both the state and county level, to bring quality educational programming to our members and our communities.

2. WAHCE is a statewide organization with a written agreement with UW-Extension Family Living Programs to provide quality programming to our members and communities. In our county organizations we work with our Family Living Educator and look to that person for advice.

3. One of the past deans of UW-Extension, Carl O’Connor, called HCE and UW-Extension “a long and successful partnership.” He said, “This organization represents the spirit of sharing and community involvement that makes Wisconsin a better place to live for all of us.” We work with the Family Living Educators who guide us in that service to our members and our communities.

PRAYER

Dear God, give us the grace to see

The blessings which have come from Thee

Give us the strength to do our duty

To see in everything some beauty

Teach us that love and cheerful giving

Tolerance and decent living

Make of our home a place sublime

Where there’s no place for hate or crime

A place where good friends gather round

Where laughter, mirth, and cheer abound

Not selfish thought nor worldly greed

Let this, dear Master be our creed.

--Mrs. James M. Hutton, St. Croix County

CREED

We, the homemakers of Wisconsin, believe in the sanctity of the home, the cradle of character, blessed by motherly devotion and guarded by fatherly protection.

We pledge ourselves:

To work for the preservation and improvement of home and community life;

To strive for healthier minds and bodies, and better living;

To promote the welfare of our boys and girls, the nation’s greatest asset;

To be true to God and country and of lasting service to our homes and communities.

--Mrs. John Meise, Sauk County
