Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The audience will learn about the history of aprons and more about the time period each apron was worn. We hope that the aprons will bring back memories for those attending, and that members of the audience would then share these memories. Evaluation forms were provided for feedback.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This program was a resounding success! On the evaluation form, several of the attendees have requested that we bring Yvonne back and do her program “Joys and Tears in the Apron Strings--Half Apron Fun.” Everyone in attendance engaged with history while appreciating styles and stories of aprons. Many stories were shared about personal experiences during the eras the aprons represented.
