EHC CLUB DONATES ACTIVITY APRONS

Submitted by Polk County Extension Office

Back Country, a University of Arkansas Extension Homemakers club, was busy this past spring sewing activity aprons. Activity aprons protect individuals’ clothing from messy recreational activities or meals.  Members who participated in making aprons were Shelly Collins, Linda Ray, Nancy Philpot, Jane Buttermilk, Eleanor Marosy-Gerlach, Nancy Jo Baker, Linda Fink, and JoAnn Moreno.  The ladies made over 30 aprons which they presented to Melissa Harmon, Activity Director, at Peachtree.  Melissa commented that they ‘sure could have used these aprons yesterday when they were making fudge’.
