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.
