The Gale- Ettrick-Trempealeau Future Homemakers of America chapter is af- filiated with the state and national or- ganization whose goal is to help individ- uals improve personal, family and community living. Wanting to become involved in the To Dare is to Care' national project and to help those less fortunate, the members conducted the annual UNICEF drive in Gales- ville, Trempealeau and Ettrick. They also adopted a foster child and made a trip to the Trempealeau County Hospital to help with an evening of entertainment for patients there. For several years, F. H. A. ers have brought Christmas gifts to be sent to the Sparta Childrens Center. Letters of appreciation were received from those recent grad- uates in the armed forces who received homemade cookies from the F.H.A. 's cookie bakery project. The biggest F.H.A. event of the fall was acting as hostess at one of the district rallies. The theme was The Wonderful World of F.H.A.
