The homemaker groups of Waukesha County, which includes the Monterey Homemakers Club, is a member of the Wisconsin Association for Home and Community Educations, Inc. Our groups meets with several goals in mind. We promote personal growth. We try to make a difference in our homes, communities and the world.
One of our most endearing contributions to our communities is the sharing of books with Head Start children. This program called 'Bookworms' is headed by Jean Gesvain, a member of the Monterey Homemaker Club. This past year in Waukesha County, 94 Head Start children were read to by four volunteers. Each child received a set of books for a total of 752 books given to them. Another member of the Monterey group, Harriet Daley, knits hats and mittens for these children.
We are looking forward to being a part of the Festival.
