Meeting Minutes February 2, 2009

Lois Rife, Senior Counselor gave everyone a very warm welcome for the February 2nd, 2009 Eden homemakers meeting held at the Eden Township building which was decorated in a Valentine theme.

Twenty members introduced themselves to our guest by naming "There Favorite Valentine".

Freda Beamer read for devotions "The Commandments" and a poem "Mother's Memories" which was written on a paper towel by her husband Kenny while he was milking the cows.

Cletabelle Barnes introduced four very special Home Extension Agents who served our County over the years. Pricilla Smythe, Lois Dillion, Jean Gottfried and Beth Bunnell. Each guest gave a very interesting talk about the years they served. Cletabelle closed the program with a reading "A Mother's Apron" and showed crafts and projects made in extension as far back as her mother's era. Reminiscing question and answers followed.

The Secretaries and Treasurers report were read and approved.

Lois presented each guest with a gift and closed the meeting with a reading "Favorite Things".
