From the Agent October is a busy month in the life of Homemakers so

please be aware of all events scheduled especially

ones for Homemaker Week. I’d like to encourage all

of you to invite a new friend to join Homemakers.

This month is unique where there are plenty of

opportunities for new potential members to come and

mingle with current members. Extend the invitation to

a neighbor, friend, or family member to join you at

some of these events. After all, Homemakers is a fun

group to be a part of. Let’s show up, show off and get

some new members!

I’d also like to remind you that the Fort Harrod Area

Annual Meeting will be held in Garrard County this

year and you are all invited. Please see the attached

registration form for more information. If you need a

ride and would like to have a seat in the traverse,

please call 236-4484 and let me know.

Please don’t forget that the County Council meeting

dates have been set for the whole year. Mark your

calendars and make your best effort to attend. The

council needs representation from each club to

conduct business. This includes county chairmen.

Remember, a little effort goes a long way.

Thanks. Alethea Price

Lancaster Road Lancaster Road Homemakers met September 7th at

the Guadalajara restaurant with 15 members

attending. We welcomed new member Janet

Lebrecht. Everyone was happy to see each other

after the summer. Jan Bradshaw is our new

secretary. Charletta Sharp will remain as our

treasurer. Linda Yocum presented the lesson the

Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle. Our October

meeting will be Wednesday, October 12th at Camp

Horsin’ Around. We will meet at the Extension

Office at 9:00.

Wilderness Trail Wilderness Trail closed the 2015-2016 club year

with a luncheon trip to The Glitz in May and opened

the 2016-2017 year with a “Sandwich Potluck” on

Thursday, September 1. We acknowledge Members

who had worked at the County Fair and welcomed

back our treasurer, Marianne Kirby, who had been on

“medical leave” for the past few months. The main

objection of this first meeting was to get organized

for our club year. We signed up for hostesses, leader

lessons, etc. We chose the local Police Department

and Fire Department as organizations to support this

year. Emma Tucker and Marianne Kirby agreed to

stay on for another term as secretary and treasurer,

respectively. We are looking forward to a good, and

hopefully, healthy year for our members and the

entire county organization.

Tasting Party and Silent Auction

The first BIG event for Boyle County Homemakers will

be a Tasting Party and Silent Auction, which will kick

off Homemakers Week on Monday, October 9, from

6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Extension office.

EVERYONE is invited to attend, and even more,

everyone is urged to bring a friend (or friends). This

event is also part of our membership drive, and it will

be a good opportunity for community members to learn

more about our organization. Information about the

organization, the clubs, and the committees will be

available.

This should be a FUN event—an opportunity to

socialize with members of all the county clubs and

other people from the community, to sample some

GOOD finger foods provided by members of the

various clubs, and to participate in a silent auction,

which will be FUN and will provide FUNDS for Boyle

County Homemakers.

ALL Homemakers are urged to attend and to participate

by doing the following: Bring one or more friends,

Bring items for the Silent Auction, Bid on items in the

silent auction, and Buy some nice things. Remember

your B’s!! The silent auction will open at 6:00 sharp

and will close at 7:30 sharp.

(Most of us are more interested in clearing out excess

“stuff” rather than accumulating more “stuff,” but don’t

let that stop you from bidding in the silent auction. If

you don’t see anything you can use, bid on something

for a grandchild, a neighbor, a stocking stuffer, etc. Or

even bid on something to give to a charity. Then you’ll

be supporting two causes, Boyle County Homemakers

and your charity).

PARTICIPATION will make this even a success. So,

COME, PARTICIPATE, and have FUN doing it. Mark

that October 9th date on your calendar right now!

Homemaker Reports

Mountain Splendor

As I think of our Mountain Splendor,

I see a vision of a place of peace.

Where we can escape the care of life

and God sends sweet release.

In the Spring to see the sweet flowers bloom,

to see the trees burst forth with new life.

To hear the birds sing their new melodies, as they

take their wings of flight.

In the Summer to sit on the porch

and feel the cool breeze passing by.

To see the wind gently blow the leaves,

as it sweeps through the blue sky.

In Autumn as the leaves change their colors,

to brilliant shades of God’s coloring book.

I think I could sit for hours on end,

and never get tired, just enjoy and look.

In the Winter when the snow falls,

and the cold chilling winds blow.

The warmth I feel by the crackling fire,

but it’s God’s love that warms my soul.

So as I think of our Mountain Splendor,

our cabin that sits back in the hills.

I think I’d like to go there again,

so with sweet rest, My soul God will fill.
