CULTURAL ARTS AND HERITAGE

2004-2007 PROGRAM OF WORK

Situation: In Kentucky, the arts have played a pivotal role in the development of our culture. Early household items that were essential elements in family survival have evolved into precious antiques. Skills that enabled our ancestors to survive in an isolated society have, in many instances, become almost forgotten techniques in our modern world. “Fine traditional and contemporary crafts define our cultural landscape as vividly as horses, basketball, and our pathway to excellence in education. However, the arts in Kentucky today are as dynamic as the world itself, new disciplines and art forms are emerging, along with technologies and the new economy.” (The Kentucky Arts Council) Goal: To provide experiences for expression and appreciation of the arts with a special emphasis on preserving our cultural heritage. Objectives: To promote the preservation of heritage art and craft skills To encourage creativity in art and craft skills To encourage creativity in writing and music composition To encourage reading books that represent a variety of interests Activity Suggestions: Preservation of heritage skills. (1) Promote the study of historical preservation and restoration of public

buildings, interiors and furnishings in your community and support for local museums.

(2) Tour the Kentucky Artisan’s Center at Berea. (3) Preserve family history through scrapbooking. Include scrapbooking as a

workshop at an annual meeting.

Develop creativity in art and craft skills. (1) Select one heritage craft each year and study the history related to the development of the skills needed and its ultimate use. (2) Encourage participation in the KEHA Cultural Arts Exhibit at the Annual Meeting. (3) Encourage members to attend heritage skills camps where they can learn different craft skills. For craft camps outside your area, look for a reference guide to all heritage skills camps listed in the KEHA Newsletter.

(2) Continue to publish, at the state level and with permission from the authors, the entries submitted each year. (3) Continue to recognize winning authors and composers at a “Gathering” during the KEHA Annual Meeting. (4) Continue to present writing and music awards for the KEHA Creative Writing and Music Composition Contests at the KEHA Annual Meeting. Participation in the KEHA Reading Program (1) Counties are requested to compile an annotated bibliography to document local authors from their counties. (2) Continue the KEHA Reading Awards program which offers individual awards for reading books with topics within ten different categories. A KEHA Book List is published each year with new selections in each of the categories. (3) Present an exhibit of local Kentucky authors in your county. Suggested Lessons: 2005-2006 The History and Preservation of Basketry in Kentucky 2006-2007 Passing On Needlework Skills to Young People

Contests: The KEHA Cultural Arts and Heritage program includes several contests that are offered on an annual basis and form much of the structure for the statewide plan of work. The KEHA Cultural Arts Exhibit which takes place at the Annual Meeting features items submitted by members from counties through a process determined by those counties and their districts. There is a prescribed list of eligible categories representing different skills. The exhibit is judged and ribbons are awarded. The KEHA Creative Writing Contests in short story, memoirs, and poetry and the KEHA Music Composition Contest are also annual events and are submitted to the county of the contestant.

A list of supplies and a Power Point presentation will be provided to each

county/club to give Homemakers a full understanding of the project and needs. Supplies and money contributions will be collected at the KEHA Annual Meeting in 2006.

Homemaker lesson Jamaica is a lesson leaflet that outlines the history, geography, culture, foods and recipes

of this Caribbean island national. This leaflet will be a good resource for a February international lesson and will be available to all counties.

KEHA International Exchange Program A Homemaker Exchange is planned for 2005. A Kentucky Homemaker will go to

Jamaica and a Jamaican will visit Kentucky. (See KEHA International Exchange Program in the Handbook.) The Kentucky Homemaker will be announced at the KEHA Annual Meeting and details about the Jamaican return visit will be announced at a later date.

International County Project Award The 2006 KEHA International County Project will be based on the most creative entry

describing the fund raising efforts to meet the goal for the “Connecting Our Neighbors With Technology” project. (See Handbook for guidelines.) A plaque will be awarded to first place. Certificates will be given to each county that has 100% participation. The 2007 and 2008 awards will be based on the projects of those years when plans are complete.

2006-2007: Operation Iraqi Families Homemakers will have the opportunity to learn about Iraqi families and to bring a smile to the face of an Iraqi child. This lesson will focus on the family life, education and customs Iraqi families try to preserve in their daily lives. “Beanie Babies for Iraq” Project. A follow up activity to this lesson will be collecting and sending soft, stuffed toys small enough to fit in a soldier’s pocket that he/she could give to children as they are on patrol in Iraq. Although “Beanie Babies” are a popular prototype for these toys, any similar soft, stuffed toy would be acceptable.

Handbook 71

July 2006

Money will be needed for shipping these toys to the Kentucky National Guard serving with U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq. If people would rather give money than toys, this is acceptable, also. Contributions not needed for shipping can be used to purchase additional toys. There are three scheduled shipping times for the “Beanie Babies for Iraq” project. Collected toys will be taken by the Area Presidents to the KEHA Fall Board Meeting in November, the KEHA Spring Board Meeting in March and the KEHA 2007 State Meeting. Make arrangements with your Area President. The county collecting the most soft, stuffed toys and the county collecting the most money will be given awards at the 2007 state meeting. KEHA International Exchange Program A Homemaker Exchange took place as planned in 2005. A Kentucky Homemaker traveled to Jamaica and a Jamaican will visit Kentucky and attend the 2006 KEHA Annual Meeting in Paducah. (See KEHA International Exchange Program in the Handbook.)

KEHA INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

In 1984, a three year revolving plan for a Homemaker Exchange Program to be funded by the Pennies for Friendship collected for the use in Kentucky began. The amount of the collected funds would be one-half of the total amount given each year to Pennies for Friendship. This plan states that during the first year of the 3-Year Program of Work (the second year of the International Chairman’s term of office) a KEHA member travels to a country, extending an invitation for home hospitality to a foreign homemaker during the third year of the term.

KEHA provides up to $1500 for the travel for the KEHA member. • The winner is selected from the three Area groupings as outlined. Each Area

should nominate one Homemaker member: 2008-2009—Louisville, Fort Harrod, Lake Cumberland, Bluegrass or Northern Kentucky 2011-2012—Licking River, Quicksand, Wilderness Trail or Northeast

2014-2015—Purchase, Pennyrile, Green River, Mammoth Cave, or Lincoln Trail • Eligible KEHA members must have served as Club Chairman and either County,

Area or State International Chairman. Each County Nominee must be endorsed by his/her local County Council. Each Area must select and endorse its Area Nominee. Entry forms are located in the Appendix 6 and 7 and are due to the State International Chairman by March 1st.

• The Screening Committee shall consist of the current KEHA International Chairman, the State Advisor for International, and an Area President from an Area not eligible at the time.

• Applicants will be subject to interview by the Screening Committee. The Screening Committee will advise the winner of any possible regulations or stipulations as may be deemed necessary. An alternate winner will be named.

The second year of the Program of Work (the third year of the State International Chairman’s term of office) the Chairman attends the ACWW Triennial Meeting and a CWC meeting. The International Chairman attends a CWC Meeting each year of the term and a total of $1800 is allowed for funding the three trips (real expenses). If all three of the CWC meetings are attended, then there is an additional $1500 (real expenses) allowed toward a trip to the ACWW Triennial Meeting which falls at the end of the term of office. The third year of the Program of Work (the first year of the new International Chairman’s term of office,) KEHA extends Home Hospitality to a foreign visitor to observe the Program of Work in three Areas. The host Areas will be the three Areas contributing the largest amount of Pennies for Friendship during the previous year. Length of stay for the visitor will be set by the Areas extending the invitation for Home Hospitality. KEHA will pay round trip expenses from the USA Port of Entry and allow up to $1000 additional money, the total not to exceed $1500 for one visitor.


LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, SCHOLARSHIP

All educational chairmen are expected to work together to integrate their programs of work when possible. This educational focus deals with developing a strong leadership base for the organization. In doing so the chairman will strengthen our community outreach efforts and increase the scholarships. The chairman should be aware of the following when planning the program of work: • Monitor and promote the Volunteer Service Unit program (VSU); • Develop a 3 year statewide community project; • Monitor and promote the Leadership Development Awards; • Promote donations and applications to: Evans/Hansen/Weldon Scholarship Fund; • Promote applications for the KEHA Endowed Scholarship at the University of Kentucky and

participate in the selection of recipients as needed; • Develop and implement training programs for officers, chairmen and members; • Develop a state leadership development program and theme; • Promote the master volunteer programs; • Encourage voter registration and voter participation; • Provide programming on how to get involved in the political process; • Encourage members to assist at crisis centers, retirement and veteran homes; and, • Promote activities that encourage community involvement in family education, such as

tutoring in schools, mentoring new moms, Project Graduation, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and adult literacy, etc.


LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 2006 – 2009 PROGRAM OF WORK

Citizenship Situation:

Good citizens, like good leaders, are made not born. Anyone with the desire and the willpower can become an effective leader and a model citizen. In the United States, forty-four percent of adults volunteer. The dollar value of a volunteer hour in Kentucky is currently $14.08. Extension Homemaker organizations in every Kentucky county are encouraged to support worthwhile community groups and activities as volunteers.

Goals:

1) Encourage KEHA members to develop skills required of a good citizen. 2) Recognize members and counties for outstanding volunteer participation and programs.

Suggested Lessons:

Flag Etiquette (2006-07) Communicating with Elected Officials (2007-08) Becoming an Involved Citizen (2008-09)

Suggested Activities:

Assist local 4-H and/or other youth development professionals to conduct citizenship programs with youth (each year)

Encourage voter registration and participation “Know America Tour” to Washington DC – (2007) Extension Homemaker Day at the Kentucky State Legislature – (2008)

Leadership for KEHA Situation:

KEHA is an organization with a long and valued history. Many current members are not aware of the past history and traditions of KEHA. Previously KEHA has assisted young people to major in Family and Consumer Sciences at the college and university level through a series of scholarships. Currently the scholarships have been combined and the number has been reduced to one scholarship for all colleges in the state. Many county, area and state leadership positions lack applicants to fill the officer and committee openings.

Goals:

1) KEHA members will become familiar with past leaders and history of KEHA. 2) KEHA will increase scholarship support for young people majoring in Family and Consumer

Sciences. 3) KEHA will develop leadership training specifically for members interested in leadership

opportunities in the organization.

Handbook 75

July 2006

Suggested Lessons: Pioneers of the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (2006-07) Symbols and Traditions of the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (2008-09)

Suggested Activities:

Encourage KEHA organizations to participate in the Kentucky Historical Highway Marker Program.

Support scholarships for students majoring in Family and Consumer Sciences programs at the University of Kentucky.

Support scholarships for students majoring in Family and Consumer Sciences programs at other Kentucky colleges and universities.

Encourage identified county leaders to attend the KEHA leadership program (for development of leaders for the future of KEHA)

November Scholarship Challenge – Each KEHA member is being challenged to donate $1 (the cost of a soft drink or bottled water) during the month of November. This is not intended to interfere with county scholarship, but to encourage state scholarships. Please turn in all funds to the KEHA State Treasurer when you send in dues. Mark the envelope “Scholarship Funds.”

Community Volunteers Description:

Each member and club is asked to assume a volunteer role in their community. The type of volunteering will be determined by each member, club, and/or county organization. The direction of the volunteer service will be dependent upon: 1) the needs of the community, 2) the volunteer roles not being met by others, and 3) the interests of the individual members, clubs, and/or counties. Since so many community programs are dependent upon volunteers and the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA) is a community-based organization, it is logical that KEHA members help by taking on the responsibility to serve and improve their community through volunteer work.

Goal: Each member and each club becomes involved in his or her community as a volunteer based

on the needs of the community. Suggested Actions/Activities:

The following list is designed as a spring-board of ideas to start members thinking about how they can become involved. Involvement includes volunteering time, and in some instances financial support. Contact the various agencies, businesses, and bureaus who head up these activities for additional information and specifics on how to make the most of your efforts. Your County Extension Agents may be able to help you make the necessary connections. • Increasing, promoting, encouraging voter registration and participation • Promoting and assisting with public policy and candidate forums


• Volunteering at crisis centers, retirement homes, day care centers, hospitals, schools • Tutoring in or after school • Mentoring new mothers or mothers-to-be • Becoming involved in community reading programs and adult literacy programs • Being trained and assisting the community through a Master Volunteer program • Serving as a 4-H Club or project leader • Sponsoring Extension Homemakers Clubs (sister clubs or junior clubs, clubs in non-

traditional groups) • Assuming leadership roles in community organizations, task forces, boards, councils • Accepting, holding and caring out the duties of a volunteer public office
