we put forth. We have a

new Scrapbook club, we

have newly formed Stitch-N

-Rip, as well as Jr. Home-

makers. We also have our

new sewing days on the

second Monday of each

month to continue to sew

the Hats For Hope and our

Build-A-Bed projects, as

well as future sewing pro-

jects.

Happy September! Fall is

quickly approaching! I am

sure we are all ready for

this hot weather to break

and are excited about fall

activities. Fall brings foot-

ball for Bath County High

School, as well as UK! It is

also a time where leaves

are starting to fall. We

should have beautiful

sights to see this year, as

there has been a ton of

foliage.

Last month we had our

first Bath County Home-

maker Leadership Day

(since I’ve been here).

Thank you to those clubs

that sent someone to rep-

resent you! We had a great

time discussing where we

would like to see our coun-

ty organization going.

Also, we had our first Lick-

ing River Area meeting last

month. That was an excit-

ing day of great presenta-

tions and fellowshipping

with other Homemakers

and agents. We had 12

homemakers participating

from our county! Go Bath

County! We brought the

most homemakers (I be-

lieve, but don’t quote me

☺) Way to show up and

show out.

Thanks for your continued

dedication to Bath County

Homemakers. Thanks to all

of you who joined me for

the appreciation tea. It is

specifically for you and to

just say I appreciate all of

your support, guidance,

and encouragement.

As we start a new Home-

maker year, lets support

each other in the efforts

Family and Consumer Sciences Extension

A Message From Your President!

Happy September, fellow

Homemakers! I hope you

all are enjoying the cooler

weather in the mornings

and are anticipating the

lovely events of impending

fall!

I am so excited to continue

on in a new Homemaker

year and I hope you all are

as well. Please join the

many events we have go-

ing on as Homemakers.

The annual Licking River

Area meeting is going to be

October 28 in Bracken

County! This is sure to be a

great meeting and fellow-

ship with other homemak-

ers and agents from our

area.

We have done great work

with the Hats for Hope and

I am looking forward to

teaching this to our Licking

River associates at the

Licking River Skills Day on

October 18 in Fleming

County. Please come and

support fellow Homemak-

ers, agents, and Bath

County people who are

teaching this day. It is al-

ways a great day! Also, our

next Homemaker meeting

will be October 17 at 5:30

at the extension office.

Have a great September

and I hope to see you

soon!

If you have any suggestions or ideas on future programs, please

call and let us know. We are here to better serve our community

and we will continue to do our best in that area. Also, if you feel

like any of our classes or activities would be better if we had

them at varying times, please let me know. I know some people

are hesitant about attending programs at night or maybe during

the day for various reasons. I am flexible in offering programs.

I am sure you have noticed that I have included a calendar of

monthly events. If your club has events that you’d like the coun-

ty to participate in, please call into the office by the last week of

the month to have it included in the newsletter. That would be a

great help and a way for everyone to get together.

I am attending my first National Extension Association for Fami-

ly and Consumer Sciences meeting in Big Sky, Montana! I have

heard that this is a great opportunity to converse with FCS

agents from across the nation and to gather great ideas for pro-

grams, as well as to celebrate the accomplishments of Ken-

tucky Extension on the national level. Because of this meeting, I

will be gone the third week of September. If you need anything,

please just call Gary or Terrence and I am sure they can help you

until I return.

Have a wonderful September and I hope to see you soon!
