Ready Set Go!!!!!!

The 4-H year has started, and like every event we organize things start to work themselves out once we get past the original inertia.

Part of what has created the inertia this fall has been all the uncertainty regarding 4-H Connect and re-enrollment. I hope the training this past week has us all up to speed. It's worth repeating - As we implement this new system we will be relying on each other to climb the learning curve.

As a reminder if you have not already sent a copy of your county calendar to the district office, they are due on September 15, along with a county 4-H budget.

We seemed to have dodged the bullet with Gustav. A special thanks goes out to all the agents that pitched in to man the animal shelters and provide an extension presence at the family shelters. I would name names, but I know I would leave too many out.

Lets all say a quick prayer that Hurricane Ike is no worse than Gustav.

Best of luck,
Kevin
