We are always welcoming new members. We are a part of Indiana Extension Homemakers Association. We are the Hickory Homemakers Extension club in Colfax, Indiana. Our club was started on November 12, 1979. We will celebrate 34 years in November. Meeting are held on the third Monday of each month at 7pm in the Colfax Community building. Our meetings start with a business meeting then a lesson and end
with refreshments. We have lessons on foods and nutrition, family, education, health, or other topics. We have guest speakers, do crafts, and go on road trips. We have a fundraiser every August during Ole Hickory Days, when we sell pie slices. Proceeds are used for giving back to the community by donating to Jacob's Ladder food pantry, community Christmas baskets, Library, fire department, and two Clinton Prairie Seniors receive a scholarship from us each year. We also participate in county Extension Homemaker projects as well. Reading to Head Start for "First Books", BINGO at the nursing home, sitting at the fair, and collecting "Pop Tabs". The county Extension Homemakers also provide Leader Lesson, to those interested members. We also donate baked goods to different county Extension Homemaker projects.
