Extension Homemaker Clubs of Monroe County
Thursday, March 18, at 7:00 p.m.
Monroe County History Center
With Susan Berg
What makes Monroe County a family friendly place, with many volunteers in all kinds of organizations? One
answer is that women have quietly developed a network of support and sharing of homemaking skills. Extension
Homemakers have been active in neighborhood clubs whose purpose is to provide life-long learning, friendship
and an awareness for community volunteerism.
Join Sue Berg, who for over 20 years was the Monroe
County Extension Educator for Family and Consumer Economics, as she talks about the history of the
homemaker clubs in Monroe County. There are currently over 20 active clubs and several associate clubs with
nearly 350 members.
The Third Thursday series meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Monroe County History Center, 202 E. 6th St., Bloomington, IN.
