PASSION ATTRACTS TOGETHERNESS
Hello OHCE members!
What an interesting Spring we are having. It has been cold in my area, and still warming up in
front of the fireplace. However, the District Meetings welcomed everyone with such warm
greetings from the District Representatives and all the Hostesses. Each District meeting was
outstanding. Thank you to all who had a part in their District’s meeting. I was able to attend a
few of the workshops and enjoyed each one.
The reports at each meeting of what was done in your counties and the new members that
have joined OHCE (close to 400) is just phenomenal. I am so proud to be a part of an organi-
zation that lends a helping hand to those in need, our youth who will be going on for further
education, our veterans, our population in general. You are the greatest.
I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the State meeting in July. A new president will be installed at that
time. I will miss this experience but will delight in moving on to Chair the Nominating Committee for the next two
years. I plan to hear from many of you during this time as you consider serving as a member on the State Board.
What a joy it has been to serve as your State President and to get to know so many of you.
Continue your passion for OHCE. It is a wonderful organization that I am so proud to be a part of.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve.
Debbie Mote, President
OHCE State Board
Dear OHCE members:
What a wonderful set of district meetings you’ve had this year. I learned a lot and came out of
each meeting filled with your enthusiasm and dedication to making a positive change for all
Oklahomans. I thank the district representatives, advisors, and the state board members for
exhibiting great leadership. As I mentioned during my remarks, I encourage your groups to re-
port your volunteer work. With just a 3rd of all groups reporting, we were able to see how much
you mean to the communities and the state. You change lives by helping our youth and adults
learn new things, and engage in projects that make a difference. For the first time, we were
able at OSU to send to our US Congress delegation a summary of your accomplishments along
those of the Family & Consumer Sciences Extension programs we deliver. Keep up the good
work!. Finally, I invite you to come to the OHCE Annual State Meeting in Oklahoma City, July 8-10, 2018. For more
information visit your website at ohce.okstate.edu/state-meeting.html
See you there!

Southeast District Meeting News
A great time was had at the 2018 SE District
Meeting at the Ardmore Convention Center in
Ardmore, Oklahoma. It truly was, “Hats Off to
OHCE” and the hosting members of Carter,
Bryan, Johnston, Love and Marshall Counties for putting together
a great program and wonderful array of workshops.
Starting on Monday evening the members were offered the oppor-
tunity to take a trolley ride and visit the Greater Southwest Histori-
cal Museum. This is a wonderful museum to take in the history
and culture of south-central Oklahoma. If you haven't been, it will
make an educational and fun outing for your local or county club.
Tuesday morning was off to a great start with 241 members regis-
tered and 30 guest/presenters. There were 24 workshops to
choose from this year. How to Make OHCE Bloom had great ideas
to implement for growing your membership. Making Natural Probi-
otics-Beginning Fermenting was very informative. There were
many members walking around with eggs from, Faberge' Eggs-Lets
Recycle. And our State Project, Know Your Lemons and Comfort
Pillows.
Our lunch entertainment was Susan Pfau Yeager with Dr. Danise
Gallaway, her accompanist. Susan was wonderfully entertaining
with story and song.
The silent auction included raffle items this year along with gift
baskets. The two big raffle items were a quilt and a free 2-night
cabin near Beavers Bend.
I have had a fun time serving as your SE District Representative, it
has been a pleasure to travel your beautiful state and meet so
many wonderful Oklahoman, thank you. With pleasure I welcome
Pat Chapman as our new SE District Representative. I look forward
to seeing you all next year in Wonderland.

MEMBERSHIP DUES
The cut-off date for OHCE membership dues and member information to be received by the state treasurer is July 1.
The number recorded on that date is your official county members for 2018.
The state treasurer sends the count of paid OHCE members to the state office on July 1 each year and that is the num-
ber of your county paid members for the year.
Each county should use this date as the official cut-off date. The number of members that have paid dues by July 1
should be the number referred to as the official count for 2018 to determine your county membership gains or losses. If you have ques-
tions or need to verify your county number, contact Vina Spickler, State Treasurer, at [email protected].
