Explanation of Our Emblem

The emblem is composed of three concentric circles, which typify the county, state, and the nation.

The Hearth Fire in the center symbolizes the home and expresses the sprit of the finer attributes of the home, such as fellowship, hospitality, comfort, peace and protection.

The Oak Leaf symbolizes the strength of the home, the lamp of knowledge, the wisdom with which a home must be created, and the wheat-productivity and the richness of family and community life. This is what we as homemakers endeavor to harvest.

Around these symbols are the words HOME, FAMILY, COMMUNITY with NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR FAMILY & COMMUNITY EDUCATION in the outer circle.
