Pulaski County Homemakers Newsletter

January-February 2019

Dear Pulaski County Extension Homemaker:

Congratulations to you all for all of the recruiting of new members for the Pulaski

County Extension Homemakers for the 2018-2019 year. We have a total of 25 new

members this year! Thanks so much for each of your efforts to increase our

membership.

I hope each of you are having a great 2019 year and are ready for a big ending to our

Extension Homemaker year. We have lots of activities going on at the Extension

Office and invite you to get involved with any of the activities . If one of your New

Year’s Resolutions goals was to become more healthy, then you may want to join a

exercise class that is just for seniors as they are low impact exercise that everyone can

do.

If you need to walk more, then check out some of the local areas in Somerset that

offer places for you to walk. Here you will find lots of people walking. Some of our

churches in the county also have activity centers where you can walk. Don’t forget

you need to keep those muscles in motion.

If your goal is to loose weight then check out your local area for more opportunities

or give us a call at the Extension Office and we will be happy to provide you with

local program information. We all need to stay healthy and only you can control your

body.

Our Homemaker Clubs Who Shared December Celebrations

students. The club

beginning of the school year.
