Newview CEOS club meeting

NEW CUMBERLAND – The Newview CEOS club recently held its first meeting of the year at the Hancock County Senior Citizens Center on Gas Valley Road.

Discussion centered around possible community service projects for the upcoming year. Along with traditional projects, such as donating to the Baby Safety Shower, sending greeting cards to residents of a local nursing home, and donating supplies or monetary support to the 4-H All Stars, the club is also looking for additional ideas.

The next meeting will be held Wednesday, Feb. 4, at noon, following lunch at the center. The lesson will be The History of Pastry Pie and will focus predominately on how to make a good pie crust, and offer some options for sweet or savory fillings. As always, the public is cordially invited to attend. While the meeting and lesson are free to attend, those who wish to join the club for lunch, the normal Senior Center fee of $7 will apply.

The Community Educational Outreach Service is a WVU Extension-supported membership organization open to the public, with a focus on member education and community service. For information about the CEOS organization or how to join, contact the Hancock County Extension office at 304-564-3805.
