EllendaIe II. ID. Club:
Ellendale Home Demonstration
Club has had a very profitable year,
from last National Home Demon
stration Week to this years cele-
bration.
There have been a number of
outstanding topics arranged for
such as Dressing Your Salads"
Tasty Dishes From Leftover
Meats, Cover Your Own Belts,
Buckles and Buttons, liable Set
ting and Right Use of Silver, and
Selection and Use of Patterns. +"
All the above demonstrations were
of interest to most of our club.
We try to send leaders who will
be interested in their topic to the
leader training meeting. We also
try to allow enough time so that
leaders will not be hurried with
their demonstration.
We had two group meetings,
which were very pleasant affairs.
Hope we shall have more of them.
Two from our club are planning
to attend the workshop on remak-
ing furniture into usaEie articles.
We have three new members and
two old members Te~instatgd. A
Chaplain was added to cur list of
chairmen. The Bible is reed at
every meeting.
Most of the club members are
looking forward with interest to
the topic for the rest Of the year.
All club members should make a
special effort to attend all meet
ings, if they would keep their in
terest up and participate in all
activities to be really good club
members.
Our new president, Mrs. Harvey
Wilson, calls all the members be-
fore meetings. She also is urging
every member to do their very best
in the club work.
We are planning a display in a
store window in Milford for Nat
ional Home Demonstration Week,
and a covered dish luncheon in
May.
