Circa 1992 the council changed its name to North Dakota Association for Family and Community Education. It assists individual homemakers' clubs at the state and county level. The Homemakers' Council sought to ease the homemakers' lives as well as improve their standard of living and aid in financial planning. Many issues discussed at annual meetings included controversial community and human interest issues such as the quality of care patients received at the State Hospital in Jamestown, providing proper immunizations to their families, and how much violence children were exposed to through the media. The council's records include Historical Material, Constitution and Bylaws, Meeting Minutes, Treasurer's Records, Procedural Information, Meeting Planning; Programs, Lessons, and Projects; Annual Meeting Programs, Reports, Contests, Newsletters, and Subject Files. | en_US |
