Three years ago the Softshell Girls Extension Homemaker club formed to provide leadership and community service to Knott County. This year’s main project for the 17-member club was the Relay for Life. With perseverance and strong teamwork, the club was the leading fundraiser, raising an impressive $10,000. This accomplishment earned them Kentucky Cancer Relay for Life’s platinum level. The Homemaker club used many activities to raise money, including yard sales, t-shirt and sweatshirt sales, and making and selling fleece throws. The club won the award for team spirit and t-shirt design. The Softshell Girls’ dedication has been an inspiration to other Homemaker Extension clubs and to the entire community.
