January 14, 2012 Meeting - "Cleaning Up - Going Green"

As a group we explored what household cleaning products are considered "green" and what we are personally doing to promote a healthier lifestyle, conserve spending in this tight economy and teach our young folks about a simpler lifestyle.  We referenced web sites, books, and each other's personal experiences.  Handouts included the "Cleaning Up - Going Green" Merit Badge instructions and product recipes.  Samples of Green cleaning products made by our members were displayed.

What it means to be a MaryJanes Farmgirl Sister

“A Farmgirl believes in the strong arms of friendship, community and the just plain fun of being together. A Farmgirl takes joy in the quiet satisfaction of making things with her own hands. She exudes kindness, grace, humility, gentleness, patience and generosity, and loves the simple pleasures in life. A Farmgirl is loyal and caring, especially when it comes to her family, friends and community. She gives generously of her time and talents. Farmgirls love to get together to share their ideas. She can be with or without fields and stock. Being a Farmgirl is a condition of the heart. “

There are over 1,321 MaryJanes Farmgirl Chapters located in all 50 states and 8 countries with 3,640 Sisterhood members and growing stronger everyday. Join us in the MaryJanes Sisterhood of diversified, talented, caring, creative, likeminded women just like YOU! This is truly the best sisterhood to be found anywhere!

“How to save $$$ Couponing”  Local resident, Paula Edwards, will speak of her “addiction to couponing” as she calls it.  She has always been a “casual couponer” and after sharing her knowledge with two friends in January, she now says she is HOOKED.  So bring pen and paper, or your Farmgirl Notebooks and let’s start a mega coupon group (I would call it a Groupon but that’s already been taken) sharing all our experience and knowledge to rack up those savings.  It would be helpful for you to write down your own tricks and traps of couponing to share with the group and we can put together an article to share with others.
