Leadership in Action!

On Saturday, Pike County Homemakers participated in Leadership Toolbox Training in Boyd County alongside fellow Northeast Area Homemakers. The day was filled with valuable leadership development, new ideas, and opportunities to connect with Homemakers from across the region.

Last Thursday, Pike County Homemakers participated in the Northeast Area Leader Lesson Day at the Floyd County Extension Office. Attendees took part in three different educational lessons, gaining valuable knowledge and resources to bring back to their clubs and communities.

It was a great day of leadership, learning, and fellowship! 🎉

Pike County Homemakers will hold their next Council Meeting on August 21 at 10:00 am! This meeting will also feature the County Cultural Arts Event. Please note cultural arts check in time is 9am. We can't wait to see all of the beautiful entries! 🌼🎨
