IMOGENE COCHRANE l Home Demonstration Agent Below is a story written by Mrs. 1 Percy Nixon and Mrs. Marvin Evans, of the Oak Grove Home Demonstra tion Club. I think you will be inter ested in reading how these club wo men in the Oak Grove Home Demon . stration Club have worked for the r betterment of their community. “About three yars ago when we fill . ed out cur annual reports, the ques [ tion was asked, “What do you con . sider your community needs most?” r Miss Colwell, our Home Agent then, said in reading the answers that she . was surprised to find several stating \ that a community center was the I' thing most needed for our communi , ty. Here we want to express our | thanks and appreciation for all the help and inspiration which Miss Col [ -well gave us and may we wish her I the very best of luck in all her un , dertakings. “We discussed the subject of a com munity center a little, but nothing definite was decided until December, 1952. Then we really took the chal lenge. We had the offer of two sites ! for the location. Mr. J. C. Lane and Mr. Marvin Evans were kind enough to offer to donate a piece of land. As -1 ter much discussion the club voted to accept the land Marvin Evans offered. This location is about four miles from Rocky Hock Church on the highway near Holly’s Wharf. The building it self isn’t going to be anything elabor ate; just plain cinder block with a kitchen and main auditorium. It (Won’t be fancy, but it will be conven j ient where people can meet, feel wel i come, and enjoy themselves. “Our club was fortunate in having enough money in the treasury to pur chase the cinder blocks. However, that was just the beginning of the many, many things we had to have. We put our heads together and began 1 to plan the ways we could raise money. We began by having a barbe > cue supper and selling card table ad vertisements. We want to thank . everyone who so generously gave us , an ad. We then prepared the Belk- Tyler Staff Christmas Dinner, served a supper for the Ruritans, sold ladies’ , and men’s hose, mailbox markers, I clothing, and bed linen. We had a Stanley party, with the proceeds go ing to our club fund. “Thanks to the Coon Hunters’ Club, . we had the concession on the day of the Field Trial, which paid off very . good for us. 3 “We fixed supper for the Farm Bu reau leaders and now we are selling ’ Christmas cards. We also asked for donations of money, builciing material l and furniture for the interior. “We wish to thank again each per , son who helped in any way to make f our dream of a community center a r 'little more real, and, of course, the ’! husbands of the club members, who , j voluntarily did our building for us 1, We have a long way to go yet, be -1 fore the building is completed, bu f we feel certain that with everyone fme CHOWAN HERALD EDENTON, N.
