Content descriptions

General Note:
Highlights the past of Extension Home Demonstration and the impact of Family & Consumer Sciences and its Extension & Community Association volunteers. The book is a tribute to the spirit and dedication of ordinary women, both professional and volunteers past and present, who have given extraordinary service to family, community and North Carolina and help make our state the great place it is today. Family & Consumer Sciences and the Extension & Community Association were responsible for war bond sales that provided over one-half of the $4 million cost for the WWI hospital ship, Larkspur, libraries and book mobiles in many rural counties, hot lunch programs in North Carolina's rural schools, raising $100,000 from "butter and egg" money to jump-start state funding for the Jane S. McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education at NC State, and helping bring electricity to North Carolina's rural citizens. In the tradition of Home Demonstration and Home Economics, Family & Consumer Sciences continues to bring relevant and timely programming to the citizens of North Carolina.
