Getting involved in Hunt County

Do you ever wish you were more involved or were a part of a group that had similar interests? Hunt County Extension offers several activities that might be exactly what you are seeking. I would like to highlight two FCS programs that are always looking for new members, Hunt County Education Extension Association and Hunt County Food Demonstrators.

The Hunt County Education Extension Association (EEA) has three active clubs, Caddo Mills, Campbell, and Variety (Greenville), which meet monthly and help with educational efforts throughout the county, assist in the personal development of the members, and provide skill development opportunities. Clubs are open to all individuals. If you are interested in additional information, you may contact Jo Garlington, Vice Chairman of Membership, Expansion, and Recognition, (903) 527-3664 or the Hunt County Extension office, (903) 455-9885.

If you enjoy experimenting with various recipes, sharing your ideas, and adding to your personal collection, the Hunt County Food Demonstrators may be right up your alley. This organized group of volunteers meet monthly at the Extension office to test, score, and evaluate recipes appropriate for healthy lifestyles. Each month the group focuses on a different food theme. Dates and food themes for upcoming meetings are listed on the Hunt County AgriLife Extension webpage, http://hunt.agrilife.org/.

Both groups are open to everyone and would love to have new members in attendance. Getting involved in Hunt County programs is simple and fun! We welcome inquires, so please do not hesitate to contact the Extension office.

As always, if you have questions, concerns, or just want to chat, please feel free to come by the Hunt County Extension office, 2217 Washington Street, Greenville, Texas, 75401, call (903) 455-9885, or email Sarah.Latham@ag.tamu.edu.
