EXTENSION HOMEMAKERS CLUBS SEEKING NEW MEMBERS

An EH Club is a group of people who meet once a month to learn more about issues
facing people today: personal and home safety; family relations and human development; foods
and nutrition; the management of family resources; leadership; and clothing and textiles. These
clubs also volunteer their time to important activities like the All Tomato Luncheon and Bradley
County Fair. They donate time, goods and services to such worthy people and events as the
Angel Tree, the Ronald McDonald House, making cancer turbans, and many others.
In the past, Extension Homemakers Clubs have been known as FACE Clubs and Home
Demonstration Clubs. We have three traditional clubs in Bradley County. Each month, a
designated leader from each attends a county-wide leader training conducted by the Cooperative
Extension Service. These leaders then present the lesson to their fellow club members at their
monthly meeting. We also have two project clubs in Bradley County, the Bradley Block
Builders (Quilting) Club and Scrapper’s 10 Club, which also meet once a month.
Anyone who is interested in improving home and community life may join EHC. You
may join one of the three traditional clubs in the county, the project clubs, or become a memberat-large.

Members-at-large may attend any special meetings and receive the Homemakers News
newsletter. All EH clubs are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, sex, gender
identity, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, disability, marital or veteran status,
genetic information, or any other legally protected status. The Cooperative Extension Service is
an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Listed below, you will find the names of
