The Union County Family and Community Education (FCE) Club held its November meeting on Thursday, November 20, at the Union County Extension Office. Members gathered for a morning filled with fellowship, delicious food, and special celebrations.

This month’s meeting featured a Soup and Sandwich luncheon, with members bringing a wide variety of soups, sandwiches, desserts, and side dishes to share. The group enjoyed warm conversation and a strong sense of community as they ate together.

A brief business meeting was conducted, followed by a time of fun and laughter as members played several baby shower games. The club also celebrated two growing families within the Extension community: Josh and Brittany Bowlin and Sarah and Andrew Cook, who are each preparing to welcome new babies. Members enjoyed showering both families with encouragement, support, and well-wishes.

The FCE group continues to focus on community service and fellowship throughout the year. Their next meeting will be the annual Christmas Celebration, scheduled for Thursday, December 18, at 10:00 a.m. at the Union County Extension Office.
