Family and Community Education

Family & Community Education (fce) Clubs in Lincoln County 

For over 75 years communities across Tennessee including here in Lincoln County have come together to form a network of friends sharing common goals:

• Enriching their own lives through shared experiences
• Improving their homes  and  communities
• Strengthening and encouraging adult education
• Supporting service projects that enhance family and community life

You may remember us as Home Demonstration Clubs or Extension Homemakers. Our name has changed, but, our determination to make a difference in our communities has not. Our fce Clubs partner with UT Extension’s FCS to enrich our educational programming.

• FCE Club Newsletters – Newsletters are written by Ethel Bonner, UT Extension FCS Agent in Lincoln County

Some of you may remember us as Home Demonstration Clubs or Extension Homemakers.  Through the years our name may have changed, but, our determination to make a difference in our communities through education and community service has remained the same.
