The Mountain View Homemakers will meet 11:45 a.m.-2 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14, in the Extension Building at the fairgrounds.

There will be a covered dish lunch at noon, followed by a program entitled “Emergency Preparedness is the Key.” The speaker will be Mike Legoski from the Office of Emergency Management at the Archuleta County Sheriff’s Office.

Visitors are welcome to attend; no need to bring food.

The Homemakers organization is a monthly gathering of women who are interested in making the lives of their families and their community more livable. The meetings include lunch and either speakers or a hands-on community project. One auction fund-raiser every summer results in contributions to several local non-profit efforts. There are no dues or membership requirements.
