tension Homemaker organization is to improve the quality of family living. They fulfill their purpose through the various educational programs. In the early 1900 s they, were concentrating on programs such as hat making, inserting zippers, using dial phones and making dress forms. Today, they provide programs on nutrition and health, crafts, weight control, feeding young children, family economics and other issues facing today’s family. There’s something for everyone in the Extension Homemaker organization. The traditional program is organized much the same as other clubs. They meet once a month for a short business meeting, educational program, and exchange ideas. The non-traditional program called Awareness, is geared to those women who do not have the time to commit to the traditional program. All members receive d bi-monthly newsletter filled with homemaking information and upcoming activities. Extension Homemakers believe homemaking is the most challenging career for a woman, that the home must be the center of living, the homemaker must be

alert to changes and progress as to create a home environment which will prepare the family for the age in which they live.
