Homemakers agree!! Not only do we provide monthly learning opportunities through our leader lessons, but special interest programs like the recent Beef Basics and the upcoming holiday workshop are offered as well. It’s great to share this photo of Engine House Homemakers Club who invited Curt White with Blewegrass Apiary to visit with their club recently. I am so excited about being your County President and this new year ahead! Please share your club news and photos with me so I can share with others (charlesrprice@bellsouth.net). Don’t forget to register for the 2017 Bluegrass Area Annual Meeting on October 27 in Bourbon County. Look forward to seeing you there!

As you age, so do your eyes. Vision problems usually creep up slowly. About 16 million people in the U.S. over age 45 report some vision loss. But do you have ways to help prevent eye disease, especially age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. The Clark County Extension Office is holding a program, called “Eating for Your Eyes” to provide people with info on how they can keep their eyes healthy longer. Participants also will learn about specific foods to promote good eye health as well as part of a balanced diet and the importance of having regular eye exams. Join us!!
