Homemaker & FCS News in Brief Prepare to Care We were selected to pilot an AARP curriculum through a research project with UK. Prepare to Care is an easy-to-understand lesson on the basics of becoming a caregiver. That situation comes to most families at some point and how much smoother will your transition be if you are armed with some valuable information and resources to help you? The 2-hour informative course at the Hickman County Extension Office is on Wednesday, June 28 from 9:00-11:00 is free and open to anyone but pre-registration is REQUIRED. Please share this with anyone who could benefit. Register by June 26. The program will last about 90 minutes. 60 minutes for the program, 30 minutes for completing a pre/post assessment.
