Those among the 204 members in 14 clubs reporting their volunteer work last year gave almost 10,000 hours. They made $800 selling apple pies at the county apple festival; made almost $1,000 for the George Stoudemire Scholarship Fund raffling off a quilt they made; sponsored a foster child in South America; sold their own crafts at their annual Quilt Show; promoted EH through store window displays; presented a copy of the national oral history book Voices of American Homemakers to the country library in memory of past county and state president Mrs. H.C. Little; held many workshops and training sessions; and shared their knowledge and talents with thousands of non-members.

Polly Reese was recognized as the county A&P nominee. Pinkie Mosteller and Velma Robertson were named county VEEP winners. Lowesville EHA won the Outstanding Project Award for adoption of a family with four children at Christmas.
