The Future Homemakers of America is an organization of girls who are striving for the betterment of home and family life. Their goals are to find themselves and their purpose, then go forward to show this purpose and help others. FHA is an enjoyable organization. The girls participated in many events this year. Such as the planning meeting which was held in the summer at Lake Har Har. Also the girls attended a Regional meeting. This was an enjoyable day for everyone. The regional program of work was People Who Need People . The highlight of the organizations year was the Christmas Dance. The 1972-73 Christmas Dance was a true success, the theme being Let it Snow . All members worked hard on decorat- ing and food. And all effort proved the Christmas Dance to be a memorable event. But FHA is not only fun, to be a truely successful organization, it must have its share of work. The group sold cook books which profited them $250.00. They also had two bakesales. Candied apples were sold at every home basketball game. The state pro- gram of work was I'm All For Older Missourians . This was a big project. The girls selected an older Missourian, of no relation. The purpose was to show they can communicate and bring happi- ness to others. The 1972-73 year was truely successful, in that the members found their purpose and carried it out.
