Historical Note

The Wyoming Homemakers Club dates back to 1915, although the State Council wasn't officially organized until 1939. Founded as the Wyoming Home Demonstration Club, the organization has changed names several times since then. Wyoming Homemakers has always been associated with the University of Wyoming's Cooperative Extension program, handling extension work in Home Economics (or the improvement of family living) throughout Wyoming. Wyoming Homemakers exists in several counties throughout Wyoming. They work with UW's Cooperative Extension Service to create the annual Susan J. Quealy Award for outstanding leadership.
