Impact Report Union County Extension Association of New Mexico UCEANM members present program ideas to the agent who in turn compiles those ideas and the members votes on the programs. 55 members participated in the various programs. 50% of those members have used at least two ideas that they received from the programs in their lives. The following are programs presented; No Fuss Meals: a program developed from Connie Moyers, Roosevelt County Extension Home Economist was presented. Tip and technique along with equipment were discussed to make it easier to plan nutritious meals in a short amount of time or how to plan in order to prepare meals ahead of time. Computer Basics: The computer instructor from the high school taught ten members the basics of compueter - how to hook one up, how to turn it on, how to use a mouse, how to use basic word programming. The members expressed an interest in having more classes on using email, internet, photo editing etc. Layered Quilts: a leader training was held for the clubs on layered quilts. Cheryl Perschbacher presented the program on fabric selection, equipment needed and tips and techniques on making layered or rag quilts. The program was interesting but I think once the members saw the amount of work involved, I don't know how many will make use of the information. Foods that Lower CHolesterol A program was presented from information provided by Food and Nutrition Specialist Carole Turner. Members were given information on what foods are high in cholesterol, what is cholesterol, the kinds of cholesterol, what food are low in bad cholesterol and how to cook to help lower cholesterol.

Several different easy and economical craft ideas were presented for the members and also quick and easy holiday foods were demonstrated. A booklet was put together for distribution.
