Fantastic February Enrichment

I apologize in advance for my lack of posting in December! I was in Houston with my new wonderful grandbaby. I am back on track and here is what it going on in Enrichment!

Mark you calendars for Thursday, Feb 4th at 6:30 at the churchfor Home EC 101. Even if you are an old hand around the house, you just might learn a few new things, (or add things to those who don't)! We are going to go over some basic survival skills in cleaning, cooking, gardening and sewing. We have got the top Teachers in their field and you won't want to miss the fun! We will be serving Sharon Atwood's "from scratch" Best on the Planet Chocolate Pie for dessert. There will be a Nursery provided for those of you who need it. Please come! Sometimes it's not what you can learn, but what others can learn from you. See you there.......
