Get to Know Our Fayette County
Homemakers Clubs
The Nicholasville Pike Club was organized in the year
1930. In a few years, the membership was 35 ladies with a
waiting list to join. The club’s locale was included along
Nicholasville Pike and Albany Road when the city of
Lexington was growing outward during the Depression
years. Meetings were held in homes one day each month.
Meetings began at 10:00 a.m. and included lessons and
business. Following lunch, a craft workshop was presented
and enjoyed by all.
As the years went on the club did change from a large
group to now we have just 11 members and meet at
10:30 a.m. with business and lessons from the FCS Agents.
We still meet in the homes of members and have lunch and
fellowship. The club does participate and volunteer in
donations to “Coins for Change” “Ovarian Cancer” “Joy
of Giving at a Nursing Home” “Military Missions” “Diaper
Bank” and “4-H Camp Scholarships”.
We have had members serve as County Officers as well as
on the Bluegrass Area Council.

Embrace Diaper Bank Thank You
We would like to extend a HUGE thank you for your
generosity in donating diapers, wipes, rash cream, pullups, swim diapers and $300 to the Embrace Diaper
Bank! Donations like this will help countless families
in our community for many months to come. These
diapers will give parents the security and dignity to
provide for their children. Please know all supplies will
(literally) change lives, so thank you from the bottom
of our hearts.
The Embrace Diaper Bank opens that last Saturday of
the month from 10:00-12:00. You are all invited to
come and check out our set up and how we give out
diapers. We do our best to build relationships with our
families and make them feel welcome and not just another ticket number.
We plan on utilizing the $300 this weekend to
purchase supplies needed for the March Diaper Bank
(however, that $300 will stretch much further than this
month). When those supplies are bought, we will send
you a follow up message to share the purchases.
Now….drum roll….here are diapers in numbers:
Newborn: 84 diapers, Size One: 826 diapers, Size Two:
1,328 diapers, Size Three: 966 diapers, Size Four: 893
diapers, Size Five: 362 diapers, Size Six: 52 diapers,
Swimmers: 38 diapers, 2T-3T Pull ups: 26 diapers, 3T4T Pull ups: 92 diapers, Diaper Rash: 27 tubes, and
Wet Wipes: 13,044 wipes. Wow! Many, Many, Many
thanks from the Embrace Diaper Bank!!!
Sincerely,
Justin and Rachel Barringer

Quilt Guild, Tartan Hills, Palomar, Gardenside,
Bicentennial, Twin Oaks, Renaissance, Scarlet Gate,
