The Pittman Homesteaders
Club had a meeting at Kathy
Kalmbach’s house July 3rd.
We set a date to paint signs
for the 4-H picnic at Rainbow
Lake. It was also decided that
we would have a general
meeting only when needed and
that we would meet every
other week for sewing and the
alternate weeks for cooking.
Our second sewing meeting
was held at Vivian Mayo’s on
the 8th of July. We started our
first project of making aprons.
