Everyone had a great time at the 10th annual Summer Reunion for IEAFCS Life Members and Friends held Aug. 3rd in Springfield.Nineteen attended with Phyllis Herring being the newest member of our retiree group.
It was fun to hear about family changes, travel experiences, and new found hobbies. There were a few accidents to report, and some with health issues. Our thoughts are with those having unpleasant things to deal with.
It is interesting to note, however, that many in the group are still making a difference in their homes and communities. Some are caring for family members, several serve on various boards--Extension Partners, Extension Councils, Food Banks, School Boards, IAHCE, etc. There are 4-H Leaders, Bible School Teachers, volunteer coordinators, Master Gardeners, and some who are employed in various positions.
We appreciated updates on current events in Extension from Jenna Smith and the important work of Extension Partners from Linda Smith. Linda stressed that we all still need to support Extension Partners in every way we can. Please be a member next year!
