Women 's Group
Plans Courses
To Improve Life
The Hoke County Council on
the Status of Women is working
with the Sandhills Community
College in an effort to establish a
series of locally taught courses to
help improve the lives of women, a
spokesperson for the group said
this week.
The courses, which will include
basic child care, nutrition and
others are designed to "enhance
the lives of Hoke women."
During a "planning session"
meeting last Saturday, the council
also decided to begin researching
specific needs of women within
Hoke County and possible alter
natives to meeting those needs.
Council members also began
planning for a February "recogni
tion of women" in observance of
Black History Month.
Members of the council urge all
those willing to get involved with
improving Hoke's job-training and
job-preparedness can contact
council chairman Kay Thomas
(Box 426, Raeford) or Ellen
McNeill (Rt. 4, Raeford).
