What food do you remember eating while growing up? The Williamsburg Community Educational Outreach Service Club members shared what they ate most often while growing up while discussing the lesson “Teaching Appalachian Heritage Cooking to Children, Part II” which was presented by Patty Post.
The club meeting was held Tuesday, July 9 at the Williamsburg Historical Museum beginning at noon. Food shared included roasted root vegetables, fried potatoes, green beans, cornbread, squash casserole, potato salad and homemade cakes.
Those participating were Loretta Shirley, Blanche Knicely, Cassandria Perkins, LauraAnn Tiller, Laura Sevy, Burl and Patty Post.
Laura Sevy, representative from the AmeriCorps Seniors/RSVP, recognized members for their participation in the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program by presenting each with a certificate and gift.
The club will meet again on Tuesday, Aug. 13 beginning at noon (sharing more homemade food!) at the Williamsburg Historical Museum.
We are building and growing families and our communities by sharing our skills and experiences and learning new skills from the WVU extension service and each other. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.
