Family and Community Education (FCE)

For more than a 100 years, a network of friends in communities in Wilson County have shared a common goal:

  • To learn through shared experiences
  • To improve home and community life
  • To strengthen adult education
  • To promote projects which enhance family and community life

Through our rich history, we have grown from small community clubs to a worldwide network focused growth through education.

Craft Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month and is open to all members and anyone who would like to join. For more information or to reserve a spot, please get in touch with Vee Wills at 615-969-7018.
