The June meeting of the Jefferson Township Homemakers Club was called to order by Sharon Jump, as Mary Ann Ripperger was attending the Home and Family Conference. Charlotte Steffen and Judy Schindler served as the hostess and co-hostess.
The thought of the month is “Cooperation is spelled with 2 letters “WE.” The inspiration was given by Schindler reading “Another Chance” as authored by Gladys Atkins.
Steffen led the pledge to the flag and the Homemakers Creed.
Roll call was answered by 13 ladies answering to “What bird gives you joy?” The hummingbird was the most popular.
A club collection was taken by giving 40 cents for the word “America.” A voluntary collection was taken for Coins for Friendship/Nickels for Leadership.
Two cards were passed around for two members who were unable to attend. “Happy Birthday” was sung to Schindler and Steffen as both celebrated their birthdays June 7.
Ripperger shared that the new IEHA state president is Michelle Roberts. Ripperger will come back next month with a report on the H & F Conference.
Jump gave the lesson “Life Skills 101” which was written by Ripperger for the “I Can” program” she teaches.
Lesley Tillman reported that eight people from our Wells County Choral Club participated in the Indiana Choral Clubs joint Concert June 7, which was part of the H&F Conference.
