What a wonderful day of learning, laughter, and connection at the Extension Homemakers Educational Retreat on May 21 at the Purdue Extension Office! 🌸✨

Our Homemakers enjoyed a fun and informative session from a special guest with Mary Kay, who shared tips and options for face care and skincare to help our ladies feel refreshed and confident. 💄🧴

We also had an engaging Matter of Balance class led by our Health & Human Sciences Educator, Chrissie, focused on building strength, confidence, and strategies to help reduce the fear of falling while staying active and independent.

To top off a fantastic retreat, everyone gathered together for a delicious carry-in dinner filled with good food and even better company! 🍽️💜

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special. We love seeing our Homemakers come together to learn, connect, and have fun!
