Mark your calendars! The Carter County Extension Service has a new policy and application to reserve the meeting room. All of the Homemaker clubs and other Family and Consumer Sciences related groups that currently use the building have been contacted. Please know that you cannot reserve the room for any reason without completing an application ahead of time. If you have not done this, you will not be on the calendar. Please stop by the office or call and request a form to reserve the room. We also have a new alarm system. If you are having a meeting after hours, please be sure to discuss how to arm/disarm the alarm with the staff. I have attached the Homemaker Leadership Training flyer and registration. We have changed the format, so only 2 people from each club will need to attend. Your registration will be paid by the office IF you commit to coming back and teaching the lessons to your club. I will send in your payment and registration for you if contact me by JULY 23rd. If you do not confirm with the office, you will be responsible for sending in your own registration. We will also be taking the county van to Paintsville, We will leave the office at 7:45 on Wed. August 1st. We have 8 spots in the van and these are first come, first serve. Please let us know ASAP if you plan on riding the van. Carpooling will be available for additional members.

Denton/Willard club was awarded with the Club of the Year Award. The theme of the meeting was "You are our Sunshine", so special "Sunshine" members were recognized by each club.

I would like to thank the committee for all of their hard work! The members were Starlene Harris, Shirley Carra, Melanie Franks, Judy Lewis, Sue Tackett, and Lakyn O Brien.
