Last week the Review referred briefly
to the activities of the Farmers Clubs
in the vicinity of Sleepy Eye, and in the
western end of the county. This week
we have received from a correspondent
record of what some Of the organiza-
tions are doing in that section.
The Home Boosters Club Of Home
township, was organized in May, 1914,
in the school house in District Nc. e..
From that time until December, 1915,
the meetings Of the club were held at
the homes OF the different members and
at the schoolhouse. In the fall of1915
the club bought the old Home Creamery
building and converted it into a very
commodious club building. The first
meeting in the club house was held on
the evening Of December Z, 1915:
Have Regular Club House
Since then the members have built /,
stage: put in hard pine floors on the old
concrete foundation, and arranged a
very convenient kitchen for use when
banquets or lunches are to he served.
Meetings are held on the third Friday
evening Of each month, the-next meeting
being on January 10.
The program frequently contains the
names OF speakers from the University
Extension Bureau; Senator Potter has
delivered lecture as we'll as local men,
and several from Sleepy Eye, The
programs are very interesting at every
meeting.
