Kentucky State Fair I will be making two trips to the Kentucky State Fair this month, one to judge 4-H Needlework projects before the fair opens and the second to work in the FCS Extension booth in the Main Street section, promoting UK Extension, our Plate it Up recipes and answering questions! There is always a lot to see and do at

the fair. Best of luck to all our Pike County 4-Hers competing and exhibiting as well as to the Pikeville High Junior Chef Team who will compete for the state title on August 20! Fair tickets can be obtained at http://www.kystatefair.org/

Beginner’s Breads

I’ve scheduled (what I think will be) one final set of Beginner’s Breads classes for this fall. I’m not likely to offer this again for quite some time. If you are interested and haven’t made time for it, now’s your chance. Classes will be Tuesday evenings September 13, 20, 27 and October 4 at 5:30 p.m. We usually finish in 2 hours or less. The classes are offered as a series; you must take all

4 courses. During classes we will make biscuits and scones, cinnamon rolls,

various shapes of dinner rolls, and finally yeast loaf breads. This is a very hands-on class and makes you eligible for the Advanced Bread Making series I offer. Please call to register and pay within seven days to

reserve your spot!

AARP Driver Course

The next AARP 55 Alive Safe Driver Course is scheduled for Thursday, September 22. We are currently

accepting registrations. The course is from 10:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Registration is $15 for AARP members

and $20 for non-members. Space is limited. You may call us at 606-432-2534

September Lesson

The first homemaker lesson of the year is “Economical Entrees” on Thursday, August 25 at 10:00 a.m. at the Extension Office. We will learn creative and money-saving ways to make your main dishes really special. Samples of several dishes will be available for

taste-testing. Every club needs to be represented for training. Feel free to bring guests or invite potential homemaker members. The

monthly lesson is a great place to recruit

Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association

for

 

Kentucky Extension Homemakers are a great TEAM!! Our team co-captains, Ms. E. Go and Ms. Way to Go, are eager to increase our membership.

Our game plan is to increase membership by 1,000 members by

January 1, 2019. As a team, we can make this happen!

Each county is challenged to increase membership by 3 members each year for the next 3 years! We’re

striving for a NET gain of 3 members each year, so any loss in membership will need to be recovered

through new members AND your membership should INCREASE by at least 3 members.

This is our SMART goal for membership—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound.

Come on, KEHA!!! Show your spirit and let’s increase membership by at least 1,000 by 2019!

We’ll keep score for the next three years, and celebrate our champions. Here’s how:

Any county increasing membership by at least 3 will be recognized at the KEHA State Meeting

each year. (Remember: Your tipoff will be the number of members in your county as of December 31, 2015. Your challenge is to increase that number by at least 3 in 2016, 2017 and 2018.)

Any county that achieves 3 for 3 - makes the goal of a net gain of at least 3 members in 2016,

2017 and 2018 - will be entered in a drawing for a $500 prize to be awarded at the 2019

KEHA State Meeting.

Ms. E. Go and Ms. Way to Go will continue as our co-captains. The county with the greatest increase in members (by percentage) each year will receive Ms. E. Go and $300. The county with the greatest increase in members (number of members) each year will receive Ms. Way to Go and $300.
