homemakers luncheon

The Bullitt County Homemakers had their annual "kick-off" luncheon at the extension office.

The kick-off part is about kicking off a new year, new officers assuming their roles and so forth. It was also a meeting for inviting others who might be interested in joining one of the sewing, quilting, cooking  and crafting groups that make up the Homemakers.

We all got a handbook/calender listing programs and activities for the next year - lots going on! And the good news is there is plenty of money in the treasury so we don't have to pay dues this year.

There was a silent auction that we could donate items for others to bid on.This was to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer Research.  There were candles, baskets, wreaths, photo albums and more to bid on.

I managed to get rid of   donate a vase I had in the basement without bringing home anything to replace it (only because I was outbid on a nice handmade basket!).

After the business part of the meeting was over with we had lunch. Sandwiches, macaroni and potato salad, strawberry fluff, marinated cauliflower and then chocolate cake for dessert.

It was mentioned that a couple of men had joined  the homemakers cooking group! Things change all the time, but it's nothing new that some men like to cook...and they all like to eat!
