Ladies Home Dem

The Diligent Dames Extension Homemakers was Started in the 1920’s to promote various home extension service activities, including cooking, sewing, gardening and crafts. When the University of Vermont Extension Service no longer included homemakers, the name of the organization was changed to the Diligent Dames Homemakers.


The group meets in the afternoon once a month from September to June.  The goals are to provide Christmas “thinking of you” boxes (which include a craft), help with food if a family is in need, provide Welcome baskets for new homeowners in town, help with dinners in the Town Hall, donate to David’s House near Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, New Hampshire and fellowship for all the ladies at the meeting, sometimes at a potluck lunch.  The group is not exclusive, all ladies, young and old are welcome.
