Kosciusko County Extension Homemakers celebrates
103 YEARS
%\ 3+2(%( 087+$57 6WDII :ULWHU On a cold, wintry night in 1919, a group of women accompanied their husbands to a Farm Bureau meeting at the North Webster School. The ladies left their husbands, gathered in the home economics room and began exchanging ideas for sewing, cooking and homemaking. As they discussed their interests and what they could do to improve, enlarge and enrich their homes, the women decided the best solution was to start a home economics club. With the assistance of Purdue Extension, the Tippecanoe Township Extension Homemaker Club began, “this being the first home economics club organized in Kosciusko County,” said member Pat Rathbun. The Kosciusko County Extension Homemakers is a part of the Indiana Extension Homemakers Association and is affiliated with Purdue University. Indiana Extension Homemakers Association was founded in 1913. “The early days were a chance to get together. So, it was partially social and part educational,” said Sue Martin, who has been president for the past three years. The Extension Homemakers program consists of 12 clubs located throughout Kosciusko County with a focus on family and community service. The group will be celebrating Homemakers Week Oct. 17-22. The plans for that week include each group affiliated with the extension homemakers doing a special activity or event, such as a display at a library, to bring awareness to the group.
