OSU Extension and OHCE Inc. invite you to text your best friend and join us for a virtual Valentine’s party. The theme for the free event is “Friendship” because when you get right down to it, friends are truly essential to our happiness. This virtual event will take place on Thursday, February 10, 2022, 7pm via Zoom.
The weather may be cold, but who cares? There’s no need to dress up, have a date, or even leave the house for this party. All you need is access to Zoom. Just go to your favorite app store and download Zoom to your mobile device or visit zoom.us to download to your computer.
Donna Jung, Family and Consumer Science (FCS) Extension Educator from Canadian County, will teach us how to make our own bath bombs. This is one of the hottest craft trends going and what a perfect Valentine’s gift for your BFF!
Remember how fun it was to trade Valentine’s with everyone in your class? Connie Wollenberg, McClain County Extension, will demonstrate techniques for handmade Valentine cards. We challenge everyone to send Valentine’s to at least five good friends this year. Take the opportunity to tell your friends how much they mean to you.
We need a decadent dessert for Valentine’ Day, so Dea Rash, Payne County FCS Educator will show us how to prepare a beautiful Valentine Trifle featuring heartshaped strawberries. Share with your BFF or keep it all to yourself. It’s up to you.
OSU Extension is also proud to present an educational lesson by OHCE member from Tulsa County, Dolores Williams. Dolores will share “Getting our Hearts Right - Three Keys to Better Relationships.” Leader Lessons, such as this one, are staples of OHCE group meetings and always contain unbiased, science-based information from Oklahoma State University.
