Inside this issue:

Beginner’s Breads I said the “last time” was the last time, but I’ve had enough requests for the Beginner’s Breads series that I’ve decided to offer it one more time. If you haven’t had it, now is your chance. The class meets four weeks in a row during the evening to tackle a different aspect of bread making. Over the four weeks we make biscuits, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, and loaf bread. Each week teaches you something entirely different in the science of bread.

January Homemaker Lesson

The next Homemaker lesson focuses on personal and home safety. I found a great home safety checklist from the University of Georgia Extension. It is my hope that you will evaluate your home or use it to start a conversation with a loved

one about the safety of their home. Most accidents occur at home and this can be your first step toward making a home as safe as possible. As always, feel free to share this or call us if you’d like additional

copies.

FCS leaders, our 4-H youth are entering a cooking challenge in 2018. We are seeking donations of new or gently-used kitchen equipment to fill three kits for their training and competition. If you have any of these items and aren’t in need of them, please consider donating them to 4-H before the end of January. We need the following items. The list is very specific and we

can only include things listed here. Thanks in advance!
