With all the natural disasters we’ve had in the last few weeks, please remember all the people responding and helping to restore normal back to all these communities.

Filipino life is very different depending on where you live. If you lived in a small barrio (village), you might fetch water in buckets, clean the house, ride the carabao (water buffalo) home, or run errands. Some young children help their families by selling small items. But in a wealthier home, you would do pretty much the same things you do in other developed countries, such as watch television, play on the computer, and get together with friends. Usually, kids wear shorts (or skirts for girls) and a T-shirt, but they get dressed up for special occasions. Parents expect their children to come to dinner on time, wash their hands before they eat, and eat all the food on their plates, Nearly all Filipino children begin school at age six or seven. After six years of elementary school, most of the children continue to four years of high school. High school includes one year of military training, Graduation is at age 16 or 17. Classes tend to be very large. There might be 40 to 60 in a class. In some rural areas, especially in the mountains, children have to walk several miles just to get to class, and they even have to bring their own stools to sit on since schools do not have enough money. But education is still

Jean's Craft Club: Recently, I, Mary Lou attended a Craft camp in Atlanta, Illinois.

She is certainly missed. November 3rd around 10:15 am, will be our last craft of the year. It’s a canvas board painted with chalk paint. Then your job is to decorate it with ribbon around. Charge is $3. The other craft if you wish to participate will be a silver tree to decorate and use at the Holiday Tree Event. Connections Café will also be there to check your blood pressure, play games with you and visit. We had a great time the last time they attended if you remember. There will be refreshments. Please call if you plan to attend the craft so that we have enough supplies. Submitted by Richey Vanderspool (649-9893 or 590-6700) and Mary Lou Younger (721-2627)

Six members attended.The meeting was begun as the usual with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and reciting the Homemakers Aim. Upcoming events were discussed.

the third Monday. Rosetta Suits will be hostess of the October meeting. The annual fall auction of fall produce, decorations, and miscellaneous will be held there and the Christmas tree will be decorated for the HCE County Holiday Tree/Wreath Craft sale that same evening. Our June meeting was held as a carry in picnic at the Penfield Forrest Preserve. It is remembered for the heavy wind that blew plates, food, and table cloths everywhere. Memories of chasing paper plates from the grass and bushes still brought laughs.
The lesson on Food Trends was given by Roxie Sage, followed by lots of great conversation and delicious refreshments. Roxie Sage - [email protected]

We were reminded to check the Chatter for upcoming events to be held at the Farm Bureau Building and in the community. One of our members, Emma Flessner, is in the Nursing Home. Her son and Daughter-in-law asked if I would take care of all of the scrap books that she had assembled for our unit in past years. If you remember, each unit used to make a scrapbook for the year and they were displayed at one of the meetings. (Probably the annual meeting.) I have ten of these which have pictures and newspaper articles which are full of history. I don’t know what to do with them. Do any of the other units have any and if so, what have you done with them. We don’t have a library or such that would or could keep them for us. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what to do with them. I hope we can keep them rather than throwing them away. Janis presented the lesson, “Rain Gardens”. She gave us a hand-
