Members of the Williamson County Association for Family and Community Education are formulating plans for a new Family and Community Education (fce) Club in the Grassland community. Council members are hosting an introductory coffee for an informal meet and greet on Tuesday, March 15 at 10am to be held at Bethlehem United Methodist Church located at 2419 Bethlehem Loop, Franklin. The initial meeting will be to discuss the purpose of a Family and Community Education (fce) Club. Those in the Grassland area are invited to attend this event and “bring a friend” or “meet a friend”.
Family and Community Education (fce) is an organization of volunteers who work together to build strong families and communities. Educational materials are created and utilized to strengthen knowledge and skills. Resources are provided to develop leadership skills, enabling people to make a difference. Fce strives to make our communities a better place in which to live.
Monthly fce meetings provide the chance to learn from knowledgeable and trained speakers, as well as from the experience of fce members. Not only do members share skills and talents, but through the University of Tennessee Extension program, participants keep abreast of the latest research based information in the areas of community health, nutrition and food safety, human development, environmental health, and family economics. Leadership training is offered to equip fce members for involvement in public policy and decision making affecting families and communities.
Each year fce provides many opportunities to make a difference in the lives of families in the community in which they live. With an emphasis on literacy, education, and community action, fce members have the opportunity to share and serve, working closely with other local organizations. Opportunities for fun, laughter, and friendship abound at every fce gathering. Meetings, work sessions, trips, conferences, retreats…all are occasions for fellowship and exploration of new places, activities, and new ideas!
