McCords Crossroads Homemakers Club

McCords Crossroads Homemakers Club Meetings:
The 2nd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM CT, Hopewell Community Center at McCord's Crossroads, 7290 Co Rd 16, Centre, AL 35960.

The McCord’s Crossroads Homemakers Club was organized in 1987 with the assistance of then county home demonstration agent Geneva James, and with the encouragement of area home economics teachers Reba Miller and Laura Parker, as well as business leaders Nettie Ida Brown and Sandra Sentell. At the initial meeting, Reba Miller brought three beautiful quilt tops to be completed by the group and to gi

ve the club a jump-start on their initial projects. Our founding members included Adelle Lindsey, Ona Mae Hester, Pauline Kerr, Verna Ruth Peek, Lillian Bobo, Mary Jennings, Melody Fernandez and her mother, Jeanette Whorton, with Edna Jennings serving as the first president. The early club consisted of several gifted hand quilters who received great pleasure from meeting together to socialize, exchange recipes, discuss food preservation techniques, and to produce good-quality quilted items. Quilts were displayed at Centre’s fall festivals and were raffled off. Bake sales were held in Centre, as well as in Rome. Funds from these projects were used to finance community service projects and to establish the club’s first bank account. One outstanding project of the homemakers club in years past was the restoration of the damaged marble marker at Alabama State line on Highway 411. Through the help of the young representative Richard Lindsey, and a grant from the Coosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council, the monument was repaired and returned to its original site. Maintaining the monument and the surrounding space is an ongoing project of the McCord’s homemakers. A few years back, the homemakers club canvassed every home in the community to solicit pledges for obtaining a community weather siren. All donor pledges were fulfilled, and the present-day community has the advantage of this effective weather warning system. McCord’s Crossroads homemakers are well known throughout the area for sponsoring very successful quilt shows. Over the course of more than 10 years, the quilt shows have attracted the attention of artists and quilt enthusiasts from across the region. Most recently, the homemakers club has conducted food preservation workshops and other demonstrations. We have supported the Relay for Life, the Crisis Center, foreign missions projects, and the Ronald McDonald House, to name a few. We have sponsored community health fairs, and we assist the McCord’s fire hall with fundraisers and special projects as needed. Today our club is one of only two remaining active homemakers clubs in Cherokee County. Our club is made up of approximately 25 active members who bring a variety of backgrounds and interests to the club. Membership ranges from young mothers with careers to established business owners and senior citizens who are well grounded in community, home and church activities.
