PAGE 2 • PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 23,1978 Hold Annual Picnic Kitchen Band Recalls Active Days Although it has been quite some time since the Senior Citizens club kitchen band was an active and much sought after entertainment group, members still meet several times a year for get togethers. The annual picnic was held in Petersen park Thursday. Aug 10, with twenty members (plus two grandsons) in attendance This was a catered picnic. with delicious food and very good service so everyone had a very relaxed and enjoyable time. There was even some accordion music furnished by the caterer, and members were sorry they had not brought along their playing in­ struments, which they hope to do at next year's picnic. All were in a happy mood to be together again to share memories and make plans. The annual fall luncheon is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 6. The place and time will be announced later. This group has been together for many years, has performed at many functions such as state fairs, county fair, for church groups, hospitals, nursing homes, clubs and schools. The band won the state cham­ pionship one year at the state fair in Springfield, the first time the group played in that competition Now the band is not as active - and no longer are a kitchen band--but members continue their get-togethers each year, and enjoy fellowship and memories.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY N1ES Wed Fifty Years Homemakers In Membership Drive A special meeting of the Homemakers Extension association membership chairmen and public in­ formation chairman was called in the Extension office in Woodstock by Mrs. Marge Marlowe to have each of the twenty units in the county at­ tain two new members as a minimum this year A free tour trip goes to the unit with the most members acquired. In order to acquaint many women with the varied programs H E A has to offer, posters will be placed in special places where phone numbers are furnished for information to call many units or the Ex­ tension office Those who attended this meeting heard Nancy Moore, Extension Home Economics adviser, explain to them that the Homemakers Extension association is the only professional organization for the homemakers. The adult educational program is provided through the Cooperative Extension service. The programs are now being planned by all members of the unit, each one choosing the type of lesson she would like to have given. Among some of the programs included are homemaking, clothing, and textiles, foods and nutrition, family life and economics, home management, housing and equipment, home fur­ nishing and decorating. There are also programs under citizenship such as community concerns, resource development, county and community planning, training and leadership, health and safety. There is something for everyone and also those who prefer leisure activities such as arts and crafts, volunteer service, tours and youth work such as 4-H. Nancy Moore explained to the audience that there is a group in each area of McHenry county These units meet once a month at various times such as morning, afternoon or evening. A lesson (demonstration or talk) is given at each monthly meeting by a home economist or volunteer leader who is a member of the group. These meetings are held in homes or community buildings. In addition to the monthly meetings there are numerous county special events, social educational and business. Membership is open to every woman. A unit in any locality welcomes guests to its meetings. The purpose of the Extension program is to help people to help themselves. More information can be ob­ tained by phoning any unit member or the Extension office at 338-3737 or 4747. The many units that are now active in the county include Wonder Lake and McHenry. Mrs. Marlowe reported twenty active units in the county and more starting this fall.
