What Is RIF? Principal Hamman explained RIF to the Rotarians, explaining it was started in 1975, but in 1976 it became a private, non-profit group. The idea is to get inexpensive books into the hands of youngsters, and literally “teach them to read.’’ In 1978 a national campaign was launched to get RIF off the ground, using such luminaries as Carol Burnett to give it national attention.

Homemaker's Week May 4-10 By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent. Home Ec. Extension Homemakers throughout Kosciusko County are celebrating Homemakers Week, May 4-10. Through their Celebration they are calling on all homemakers to learn more about the organization and seek membership. The Extension Homemaker organization is the largest women’s group in the county. Consisting of 1.200 women divided into 62 clubs. Not only is it the largest in the county, it is the largest organization in the state with 53,000 members in 3,000 local clubs. Kosciusko County is proud to have the second largest membership in the state An Extension Homemaker Club is a group of women who meet monthly to learn a little more about their home and community and to enjoy each ather’s company. The clubs are organized much the same as other clubs. They have their own by-laws, officers, and committees. Their meetings usually com sist of a short business meeting, an educational program, and a social time just to chat and exchangeideas. Although the their own countvxdfTicers who — are maintaining the organizatibm~ > they work closely with the Extension Service. Through this cooperative venture, they are better able to provide their membership with homemaking information to improve the quality of family living and to develop leadership qualities. Educational programs such as, clothing for the family, making silk flowers, outdoor cooking, cutting food costs and saving energy, are held each month at the Extension Office. Members participate in many other activities throughout the year. One of their largest activities is the Christmas Bazaar held in November. Club members spend months making handmade items that are sold at the bazaar This is their only money making activity. Other activities include the county fair, Fashion Show, Spring Achievement, Farmers Market, Elko camp, and county trips. Extension Homemakers, being family oriented, are interested in the well-being of the county's youth. This interest is displayed in their sponsorship of a S2OO scholarship awarded to a college student each year'and also their support of the 4-H program Extension Homemakers have been in Kosciusko County since 1919. In those 61 years, they have seen many changes. But they have always maintained their initial goal, to provide homemakers with information so they can keep up-to-date in an ever-changing world. They realize that not all homemakers have the time to devote to a traditional program, so they formed a non-traditional program called “Awareness. ’’ Members of the Awareness receive a monthly newsletter with homemaking information and announcements of upcoming events. What’s so unique about this program is that there is no commitment to the traditional program; no monthly club meetings, no officer responsibilities, no committee work The educational offerings the organization has to offer are open to them. All members receive a homemaking newsletter and can participate in the many activities the organization sponsors. Membership is open to any woman, anytime. All types of women belong — working women, young women, full time homemakers, older women. The only requirement for membership is a willingness to learn. Extension Homemakers believe homemaking is the most challenging career for a woman, that the home must be the center of living, and the homemaker must stay alert to changes. Extension Homemakers is a great opportunity to meet other women in your community and to reap educational benefits in an informal setting. For membership information, contact the County Extension Office.
