Hi everyone,
I hope you all had wonderful holiday and the new year is off to a great start.
I will be having a Heart Healthy Lunch and Learn on February 7th from 11:30 to 1:00. We will wear red and learn about how to have a healthy heart as well as enjoying a heart healthy meat. Call to signup by February 2nd.
We are starting to work on Homemaker Lessons for next year. If you have something that you would like to learn about, please e-mail or call me. The ballet for lessons will be in the March edition.
I am planning the Homemaker Cultural Arts Fair for April 30th to tie in the Estill County Homemakers Annual Meeting. Categories and rules are in this newsletter as well as the following link: https://keha.ca.uky.edu/sites/keha.ca.uky.edu/files/2023_CAH_Cultural_Arts_Exhibit_Categories_and_Rules.pdf.
All programs are cancelled if school is canceled for weather. If we have slick road conditions and can not make it in to work, the office may be closed. We will post on notifications on Facebook.
If you have any questions or program ideas, you may contact me at my e-mail: judy.vaughn@uky.edu or by calling the Estill County Extension office at 606-723-4557.
Have a great February!

Homemakers News
Hello Estill Homemakers,
I hope everyone is doing well in this new year.
Not Your Momma’s group met in January. During this meeting Estill County FCS Agent, Judy Vaughn, taught those in attendance how to make foil packet meals and we watched a video on chair exercise. The lesson from the meeting was trying to get a healthy start to the year. We had a short business meeting and discussed upcoming meetings and service projects this year.
The Homemaker plant group meeting was postponed in January and hopefully weather will let us begin in February (Feb. 13th at 6p.m.). This special interest group is open to all Homemakers and is held the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the Extension Office.
The Bluegrass Area Homemakers committee meeting will be working on KEHA state meeting details. The KEHA State Conference in May will be held in Bowling Green this year. Hopefully some of you will be able to attend. More details about these events will be available in the coming months.
It’s about time to start discussing our county meeting in May, so please share any ideas you may have. Let’s make this year even more fun! Stay Healthy and Safe.
Rebecca Lamb
Estill County Homemaker - President
