On May 19, the 4-H Mothers Extension Homemakers Club hosted its fourth annual yard sale where the group was able to raise $1,000 towards various projects and community donations in Jessamine County.

Items donated included furniture, books, clothing, bedding, dishes, glassware, electronics, yard items, crafts, various holiday decorations and more.

The 4-H Mothers Extension Homemaker Club was founded in 1968 by seven women who were 4-H leaders and who also had children in 4-H. The group presently has 15 Christian women who enjoy fellowship, friendship and helping others.
