Page 40 — Supplement to The Brunswick Beacon. September-October. 1987 County Homemakers Are The Best Cooks nV MAIUOKIE MEGIVEKN There’s one nood answer to the question. "Where are Brunswick (.’ciintv's best cooks? ” In extension homemaker clubs, of course! The county's eiglit clubs, organized by the .Agriculture Extension office, meet monthly to sharpen their homemaking .skills, and an impor tant feature of the meetings is refreshment time, when goodies brought by a member are enjoyed and recipes exchanged. Town Creek's club has only eight members at present, but each one is a kitchen whiz and eager to con tribute the favorite recipes printed below. President .Marie Wescott said the group accomplishes more than self- improvement. "We’re responsible for this hou.se being here,” she said of the attractive building in Town Creek Park where the club meets, equipped with kitchen, bathroom, and large, carpeted meeting room. "The original plans of Parks and Recreation for this park included on ly bike trails and ball fields,” she ex plained. "So we got up a petition for this building. Our husbands have ad ded things to it... my husband made that podium and coat racks and we bought a flag.” She said the senior citizens, w’ho also meet there, have helped furnish and decorate the facility, as well. Clubs also help their community and county through various projects. Town Creek began last year awar ding Bninswii k Teclinical College .scholarships to young homemakers in the county. "We help Hope Harbor, the home for abu.sed women and children, too. ” Wescott said, "and we re trying to organize an auxiliary for the fire and re.scue .squads at Town Creek.” Town Creek is one of the county’s oldest clubs, having been in existence more than -lO years. Of the others, Guys and Dolls includes husbands, and the one in Bolivia is all-black. The purpose for all is to learn every phase of homemaking: canning, freezing, nutrition, family living, and budgeting, to mention a few. A pro gram is presented at each meeting on one of these topics. There’s always a devotional, too, and in the Town Creek club, it’s usually given by Susan Kelly, who, with her husband, conducts a per sonal "lighthouse ministry” that .sprang from their association with PTE. The .July meeting featured a pro gram on values by member Lena Fk'achhin, with lively discussion by listeners. Besides Beacham, Wescott and Kelly, members include .’Marie Young. Alma Anderson. Hilda I-euis, Letha Habon and l/ouise Harrison. A feeling of clo.seness prevails as the eight 1 Own Creek women get together, cover a table with a lace cloth, add a vase of crepe myrtle brougnt trom nome, and spread it with the treat of the month. Then they sit down to listen and visit and plan. And how these warm-hearted homemakers enjoy cooking and eating!
