Why join the Hendricks County Extension Homemakers? So glad you asked!!!! There are lots of reasons, but I'll give you a story instead. Actually, it's my story. :)

I homeschooled all three of my children from Kindergarten through 12th Grade. My last one finally finished her high school education and was headed off to college. With all three out of the house, I decided that I wanted to get involved in the community. I needed somewhere that I could meet other ladies and continue to use my skills and/or talents. So! At the fair, I talked with a lady at the table in the Open Class room, and decided to join. That way 7 years ago! WOW!

I am SO, SO glad that I did. The friends that I made through the Homemakers are priceless. I don't think I would have met these ladies otherwise. I've met ladies of all ages, different backgrounds, different nationalities, etc.

I've heard from a number of other ladies that one of the things they treasure most about their time with Homemakers is the friendships that they make.

Of course, it's up to you on how involved you become. But the more you do, the more people you will meet, the more fulfilling it becomes, the more joy and satisfaction you have, the more the community benefits....all because you took that first step.

Join us today. You can download the brochure/application at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TeNo-8cbiRaavMFYcLSLeCNsIC8MjbCK/view?usp=drive_link

Chick-fil-a Fundraiser on Wed., May 27, ALL DAY, at either Chick-fil-a in Avon! See Details!!!!!

Each year, the Hendricks County Extension Homemakers award Educational Scholarships to seniors within Hendricks County. This year, due to our "quarterly" fundraisers, we were able to award three $1,000 scholarships. The recipients were Elaine Hemmert (Plainfield), Clark Miller (Brownsburg) and Ava Broyles (Plainfield).

Another one of our fundraisers will be on Wednesday, May 27, ALL DAY, at either of the two Chick-fil-a locations in Avon. Please remember to tell the cashier that you are there to support the Homemakers or use code HOME527 when using the app or ordering online. Help us raise funds to provide at least three scholarships next year while you enjoy some delicious food.
