SUMMER 2015
President’s Notes
By Mary VanderVeen
Where has the summer gone? It’s hard to believe that it’s almost fair
time. The hostess schedule for the Log Cabin is in this newsletter.
Thank you to all of you who have volunteered to hostess. Please take
the time to talk with visitors in the cabin when you have the
opportunity. Tell them about the many things that HCE does. Eileen’s
article in this newsletter gives you an idea of the value of our sewing
projects. The Wisconsin Bookworms™ program has distributed more
than 700,000 books statewide since the program began; that’s
something to be proud of. Entrance tickets to the fair are available
for those who do not have a season pass or a lifetime membership.
Barb Papcke has lined up a variety of interesting demonstrators for
each day, and there will be brochures and a display on consumer
fraud. We will be selling the Chica Nica 18” doll dresses again this
year for $20. All proceeds go back to Nicaragua to the women who
make the dresses to improve their standard of living.
The WAHCE State Conference follows closely on the heels of the fair.
We will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the organization. Next year,
we will be recognizing the 70th Anniversary of Walworth County HCE.
It’s time to start making plans to celebrate that occasion.
On September 30th, Rock County will host the Southeast District
Meeting in Milton at The Gathering Place.
Thanks to Barb for another great Mystery Trip. Be sure to get your
reservation in for the trip to the Governor’s Mansion in December.

Background Checks for Walworth County Fair
By Barb Papcke, VP Family & Community Life
To all HCE Members and friends who volunteer at the Log Cabin during the
Walworth County Fair:
I received a letter from the Walworth County Agricultural Society the other
day when I picked up my letters at the Fair Office for the Log Cabin
demonstrators. They are implementing a new policy of conducting a
personal background check on all employees, vendors and their employees,
volunteers, carnival employees, and any other person involved in our fair this
year. This is an effort to make the Walworth County Fair a safe, friendly
environment for all of our fairgoers.
On the day that you are scheduled to volunteer at the Log Cabin, there will be an Employee
Background Information Form that requires your full name and date of birth. Please fill
out the form, and I will collect all of the forms and see that the Fair Office receives them.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Program Coordinator’s Report
By Eileen Guthrie, Program Coordinator
Those of you who receive email may have gotten a message from Jenny giving us information on how
many members belong to HCE in the State of Wisconsin. If you did, you saw that as of 2014, there was
a total of 3,700 members. Walworth County showed 43 members. Unfortunately, there are other
counties struggling with membership, too. I realize that our membership is aging, but we are never too
old to learn something new.
When was the last time that you used something that you learned from HCE, or maybe something you
learned when we were known as “Homemakers”? I visited a meeting I was invited to by a neighbor
who was hosting Homemakers at her house and was impressed. The project meeting was on using
hand tools. I learned when using a hammer, hold the handle near the end; you get a better strike when
holding it there rather than holding the handle in the middle. Every time I pick up a hammer, I think
of that lesson. We also learned how to properly rewire a lamp; I will say I never tried that, but I know
how to properly use a screwdriver.
Can you remember something you learned at HCE, if not from a project lesson, from another HCE
member? Bet there is more than one thing you can remember. When I joined Homemakers, I had two
little girls and a new baby boy. Some of the other ladies had young children in the group, as well. It was
a night to learn something, a night to talk with adults, not just children, and it was a social event, too.
It is getting harder all of the time to come up with new projects that haven’t been covered over time.
Sometimes it is just a new way of doing things, or sometimes problems that come with the times, like
the class on Identity Theft we had in February. Barb Papcke and I are working on a class titled “Quick
Fixes with Mixes.” We always seem to be in a hurry and are looking for new ideas for meals. We hope
that you will like the class and will go home with new ideas.
Our other class for Evening of Learning on September 24 will be on Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
Unfortunately, I think we all know someone with one of these terrible diseases. Be sure to sign up for
Evening of Learning and invite a friend, neighbor, or family member to come with you. It is much
easier to teach a large group rather than just a few people. Look for more details further in this
newsletter.
Other upcoming events include:

Walworth County Fair, September 2-7

State Conference, September 14-16, Stevens Point

Southeast District Meeting, September 30, The Gathering Place in Milton

Fall Association Meeting and Potluck Dinner, October 22 at 6:30 p.m. Guest speaker Ginny Hall
will be talking about the Underground Railroad and the Underground Quilts.
Enjoy the rest of the summer. Hope you can help in the Log Cabin. If not, stop by and visit our display
and enjoy the demonstrators. Also, be sure to sign up for Evening of Learning.
Recently, this quote was posted on Facebook, and I found it incredibly true, so I am going to share it
with you. It was written by Dalai Lama. He said:
“There are only two days in the year that
nothing can be done. One is called yesterday,
and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the
right day to love, believe, do, and mostly, live.”

Executive Residence Holiday Open House Tour
By Barb Papcke, VP Family & Community Life
On December 2 at 1:00 p.m., Walworth County HCE and friends will tour
the Executive Residence in Madison. The tour is ½ hour long with free
admission. Please bring non-perishable food items in support of Second
Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin.
The bus contract has been signed. I am planning as of now to have
parking at the fairgrounds, board the bus at 8:45 a.m., leave at 9:00 a.m.,
and arrive at Cracker Barrel in Madison at 10:30 a.m. I am working on a breakfast menu. With the 1:00 tour, we
should be able to leave Madison by 1:30, and be back in Elkhorn by 3:00 p.m.
The cost of the bus with 50 reservations and a tip for the driver is $ 17.50. If we fill the bus with 56 reservations and
tip the driver, the cost is $ 16.00. The cost of the bus and an all-inclusive breakfast would be $31.00-$32.50,
depending on how many are on the bus and the final breakfast menu.
As the plans get finalized you will be receiving more information.
Mark your calendar for December 2, and enjoy the holiday decorations at the Wisconsin Executive Residence.

Stitches of Love
By Eileen Guthrie, Coordinator
The sewing machines of HCE Members in Walworth County have been buzzing along. The following figures are from
August 2014 up to the June 2015 sewing meeting. Here are the total items that our sewing members have
accomplished for this past year.
Walker Caddies

@ $7.50
= $240
Drain Pouches
92
Quilts
63
@ $10.00
= $630
Hats

@ $ 6.00
= $3,480
Comfort Pillows

@ $ 6.00
= $3,552
1,359 Total Sewn = $7,902 Value
There is an average of 14 HCE members and 2 friends of HCE that have made the above items. This does not include
all of the beautiful pot holders that Mary VanderVeen has been making on her own. These pot holders and pot
pinchers are great sellers at the Log Cabin.
The sewing meeting for August was cancelled. September is a busy month for HCE, so we will not be sewing as a
group. Our next sewing meeting will be October 13 at 9:00 a.m. We will work at Millard Church as in the past. Be sure
to bring your sewing machine if you sew, or bring your scissors if you are a cutter. I always suggest you bring your
favorite sewing gadgets with you. Lunch is another important thing to bring. Coffee will be provided, along with a mid
-morning snack.
Thanks to all who help in any way.
Dear Jenny,
I pray that I am sending this email to someone within the Stitches of Love program, or that you can get a message to
them.
I recently had cancer surgery at Waukesha Memorial Hospital. The surgery was scheduled so quickly that I did not
have time to plan, let alone think about the recovery period. While in the hospital, the Nurse Navigator gave me a
handmade bag and comfort pillow. At the time, I had no idea how important and helpful these items would be.
I will be using the bag to carry items to my chemo and radiation treatments. It will be so useful to keep all of my
personal items. The comfort pillow has been an absolute Godsend!! I carry it everywhere! To say that this pillow has
been instrumental in alleviating my post surgery pain is an understatement! My first night home, I could not sleep. I
positioned the pillow to eliminate the pressure and ultimately got some needed sleep. The name "Comfort Pillow" is
very appropriate!
I believe that God works in mysterious ways that are sometimes not even recognized. Making these pillows was
certainly a gift from God through your hands. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you realize how grateful I am for
your kindness. It will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Julie H.

2015 Mystery Tour
By Barb Papcke
Another destination unknown as 19 HCE members and 37 friends embarked on an educational and fun-filled day. It
never seems to rain on our parade, as the weather was just prefect. Cookies with recipes from the Taste of Home
“Cookie Cookbook” were given out, along with a bottle of water, and we were off!
Cold pizza for breakfast is good! Hot and fresh out of a pizza oven at 10:00
a.m. is awesome!!! Our first stop was touring Palermo’s Pizzeria Factory in
Milwaukee with our upbeat and very friendly tour guide Alisha. As we started
our tour, the company called a mandatory meeting, and the lines were down!
Not a good plan! Alisha did point out what each line does. They have 640
employees and use all Wisconsin products for the pizza. All the dough for the
crusts is made fresh at the factory. After the tour, we each enjoyed 2 slices of
hot pizza and a beverage.
In 1954, Palermo’s founders Gaspare (Jack) Fallucca and his wife Zina immigrated to the U.S., bringing with them
cherished family recipes and the Italian tradition of connecting food and family. They settled in Milwaukee and were
blessed with three sons. The company began in 1964 as an Italian bakery on Milwaukee’s east side. In 1969, Jack and
Zina opened a pizzeria and restaurant to satisfy customer demand for their homemade Italian foods. Soon after,
Palermo’s was named “Milwaukee’s Best Pizza,” and with the urging of a local grocery store owner, Jack and Zina
went into the frozen food business. In 1979, the company began making frozen pizza breads and pizza. Since then,
the company has been a lead innovator in the frozen pizza business, creating the first frozen pizza with a rising crust
in 1989, introducing the very first super premium private label pizza in 1993, launching the first frozen, ultra-thin
pizza, Primo Thin, in 2003, creating the first domestic hearth-baked crust on a frozen pizza in 2007, introducing a
hand-tossed style pizza in 2010, and offering flatbreads in 2012. 2014 marked Palermo’s 50th anniversary.
I had never heard of this brand of pizza. We each received coupons, and I have used one of my coupons and
discovered a new frozen pizza that is awesome! On July 16th, I received a call from Alisha thanking us for the
monetary gift for being our tour guide, but it is against company policy to accept any gift. Alisha called it a tip and
divided it with the servers and the pizza chefs that prepared the pizza for us.
Next, it was on to Greendale, Wisconsin. We had a step-on tour guide who told
us that this planned community is one of only three “greenbelt” communities
in the United States, built as part of the Resettlement Administration under
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration in 1936. The community was laid
out with a "greenbelt" of parkland, garden areas, and farms encircling the
entire so-called urban development and was designed to look like an English
garden village. As we traveled the streets, we were reminded of the
“A block” of streets, then the “B block” of streets. We saw the
“backward houses,” with the kitchen in the front and the living
quarters in the back so residents can enjoy the backyard. Al
Emmons, who lives in the Village of Greendale, is the creator and
decorator of over 200 of Greendale’s chimney folk art. The
sculptures are carved out of a kind of Styrofoam with a hot knife
and treated with synthetic stucco and plaster; such sculptures

include an American flag, old Milwaukee Brewers ball-and-glove logo, owl, ocean wave, cardinal, and there’s a couple
of Bucky Badgers on Badger Court. Chimneys along Apricot Court featured apricots. Blooming azaleas- so big they
stretch along the entire side of the house- were highlighted along Azalea Court. Some of Al’s best work is on
Arrowwood Street. The flower beds, hanging flower baskets, and well-manicured lawns are a tour worth your time,
and see the chimney folk art while you’re there.
Next, it was lunchtime at the Old Country Buffet in Greenfield. If you can’t find something to eat on the buffet line,
you must not be hungry!!!
Then, it was time to return to Greendale for the Taste of Home test
kitchen!!! The Greendale Visitor Center is the birthplace of Reiman
Publications- publisher of Taste of Home and 12 other Greendalebased magazines. Perhaps over the years you received Farm Wife
magazine, Birds and Bloom, Reminisce, or Our Wisconsin. Reiman
Publications is now owned by Readers Digest. They don’t have the
basement stocked full of old publications, but you can still find one-ofa-kind discounted cookbooks, gadgets, and more on the first floor!
We were met by CJ, the Test Kitchen demonstrator. She was preparing
to give us a demonstration on making the “cookie of all cookies”! After
nearly a year of testing, tasting, and retesting, the recipe was chosen as the grand prize winner! CJ needed a
volunteer to assist her, and Eileen Guthrie was selected as the one who would mix up the batch of cookies! The
recipe’s mix of chocolate chips, toffee bits, and chopped pecans had testers describing it as “simply the best” cookie!
We all received a Taste of Home’s Best of Country Cookies
cookbook, with 250 of the best cookie recipes, and we were treated
to a sample of the prize winning cookie! Then, we had time to
shop for discounted cookbooks or a new gadget one might need!
The historic downtown has many unique shops, restaurants, cafes,
sidewalk flower beds, hanging baskets, and a Norman Rockwell
statue of a painter. I actually thought that there was a man
actually painting a picture until finally I noticed he wasn’t moving
his paint brush!
As we relaxed on our bus ride back to Elkhorn, people were either
napping or buzzing about the educational and fun day they had!
We offer our sincere condolences to our county HCE
President Mary VanderVeen and her family on the passing of
her husband, Ed.
Our sympathies also to Jean Brummel and her family on the
passing of her husband, Norman. Jean is a faithful sewer who
comes to our sewing meetings.
You are in our hearts and prayers.
"What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes part of us."

HCE CREED
We, the Homemakers of Wisconsin, believe in the sanctity of the HOME, the cradle of character,
blessed by motherly devotion and guarded by fatherly protection. We pledge ourselves: To work
for the preservation and improvement of home and community life; To strive for healthier minds
and bodies and better living; To promote the welfare of our boys and girls, the nation’s greatest
asset; To be true to God and country and of lasting service to our homes and communities.
Mrs. John Meise, Sauk County
PRAYER CREED
Dear God,
Give us the grace to see the blessings that have come from thee; Give us the strength to do
our duty To see in everything some beauty Teach us that love and cheerful giving, Tolerance and
decent living, Make our home a place sublime, Where there's no room for hate or crime, A place
where good friends gather round; Where laughter, mirth, and cheer abound, Not selfish thoughts,
not worldly greed,
Let this, Dear Master, be our Creed.
