Night Extension Homemakers Club



The Night Extension Homemakers Club members have always said that if the weather conditions are not desirable, then we would probably not have our meeting. Well, this happened on Wednesday, with the snow and very cold temperatures. We just decided to be safe in our own homes, and not be traveling especially after dark for a meeting, and just canceled the meeting for the month. Plus, we already knew that some of our eleven members would not be able to attend anyway.

So, what we had on our agenda, and this includes the report on the recent extension homemaker's council meeting, will now be done on Wednesday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m., at Catherine Mauer's home near St. Maurice, weather permitting again. Janet Bedel will be assisting. A lesson will be given then by one of our Janet's, and that will be determined by which one has the lesson info at that time, as several lessons were picked up at the local extension office at the recent council meeting. Safe traveling to everyone.
