Thoughts from Ronda…

Wow, Fall is quickly approaching! I hope all is well with each of you and your families.

I need to make a correction to the last newsletter…the Crafting Calm Series will be on Thursdays as opposed to Fridays. The series of classes begins September 26th. All classes are from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please see the enclosed flyer. I apologize for any confusion. Please remember to register for any or all classes. We have limited space and materials.

Other dates to remember:

Our Homemaker Cultural Arts Event is September 16th from 9:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m. You should have received a postcard as a reminder.

Our Homemaker County Annual Meeting is September 17th beginning at 6:00 p.m. Call our office to register for the food count.

And finally:

Please remember to renew your annual membership for Homemakers. The dues are $10.00 due to the Extension Office by November 15th. Make checks payable to the Gallatin County Homemakers. Invite a friend or neighbor to join! Enclosed in this newsletter are flyers for the different Homemaker Clubs in Gallatin County. This will help when inviting others to join. Also remember, being a mailbox member is another way to be involved. Let’s see if we can each bring a new member into our wonderful organization.

Until next month, take care and be safe!
