The Ladies around her had a Chatterbug Club they were very active in the community...it the 1940's they made bandage and sent packages to soldiers. They used to have Home Economics Workshops in this area...especially on canning and preserving foods. Today they have Widow's Club and a Senior Citizens Club and Birthday Club. I did go to Birthday Club a few times but they are too gossipy for me:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-78327493251497687832016-12-29T11:25:28.063-07:002016-12-29T11:25:28.063-07:00No recollection of any group like this.

Funny how I have few memories of what my mom or dad (except his work assignments) did. Must do some thinking on that. Something will come to light eventually.

The extension club invited our 4-H club to come to their meeting once a month and one or two girls were selected to give a homemaking presentation of some kind. I recall I demonstrated how to make banana bread. I was 12 at the time and received a lot of encouragement from the ladies to continue on with my project. I did so, and ended up going to the Illinois State fair as a delegate with that same banana bread demonstration. I only share this because these women were wonderful role models and went out of their way to groom young women not only in homemaking but in public speaking. I don't know if there's much of that going on these days. I hope so.A Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-87140870159301660672016-12-28T15:20:23.539-07:002016-12-28T15:20:23.539-07:00How nice!

I remember having tea at our house and I was dressed very much like the little girls in your photo. My dress was red with a white Peter Pan color and I wore black patent Mary Jane's. I also remember that Mom made cinnamon rolls and that began my passion for that yummy sweet treat!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-88432422898432673422016-12-28T13:42:10.439-07:002016-12-28T13:42:10.439-07:00How FUn Nancy to show us this photo.

In her 50s she volunteered as a lunch lady once a month and the ladies called them selves the Hot Dog ladies. There was no hot lunch at the catholic school, so these ladies went to the church kitchen once a month and sold hot dogs . Im not sure what the money was used for. They probably just broke even. We kids LOVED hot dog day. These women over time left hot dog day to others but the original Hot Dog ladies continued to meet at Christmas and as they had individual birthdays ; they remained a loving group to one another. kathy bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534431969086721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-5592135258025088452016-12-28T11:36:23.526-07:002016-12-28T11:36:23.526-07:00I really enjoyed this picture.

A few guild members still belong to extension groups and talk about them at times. It was a nice multi-generational group.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-14652588442100197752016-12-28T08:14:03.937-07:002016-12-28T08:14:03.937-07:00Love the picture!
