The Clay County Extension Homemakers are part of the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA).  KEHA, with a rich history dating back to the early 1900s, is a volunteer organization that works to improve the quality of life for families and communities through leadership development, volunteer service, and education.  

Clay County Extension Homemakers receive a monthly lesson and newsletter, quarterly Grab & Go crafts, and additional opportunities to engage and learn through special interest lessons and other events.  Clay County Extension Homemakers is open to everyone without regard to race, color, age, sex, religion or national origin.

There are currently three Clay County Extension Homemakers Specialty Clubs: Pins & Needles, Card Making Club, and Create & Inspire.   Our Specialty Clubs focus on learning, developing and preserving a specific skill, interest or activity.  You do not have to be an expert in the area, more seasoned members are always eager to share their knowledge and skills.  During monthly meetings, members in these clubs work on personal projects, participate in group projects, and learn new techniques and methods from fellow members.  

Clay County Extension Homemakers has a place for you even if you are unable to commit to regular club meeting attendance.  Members-at-Large, sometimes referred to as Mailbox Members, are held to the same high esteem and afforded all the opportunities of regular club members.

New members are always welcome! Homemaker dues are $12 annually. Call (606)598-2789 for more information.
