Back to the BLOG

It's been over a month since I've posted a BLOG and that's too long!

This time of year information is at a premium and the faster you can digest it the better. With Major and Local stock shows in action there's no time to diddle.

Three Points of Major interest.

• If you have a semi active 4-H Horse Program, the CEA Horse News Letter is a "Must Read". Make the time. In the newsletter you'll find a letter for leaders that is ready for you to share with your adult leaders. (no better way to save time, than to have someone else write your letters).
• The District Consumer Decision Making contest will be run largely the same in '09 with one exception. There will not be an over arching story line to support the class scenarios. If you are foggy on what I'm referring to, post a response to this blog and somebody will clear the water.
• As noted in point number one, having someone else write the letter can save you time. This also applies to your monthly newsletter. I'm not suggesting you quit writing the newsletter but I am foreshadowing future State 4-H Efforts. Beginning in February the State 4-H Office will launch a newsletter for CEA's . This newsletter will be designed with "cut and paste" in mind. When you see something your people need to know, simply cut it out and put it in your newsletter! How's that for service?

With the new CEA newsletter in mind, if there are specific subjects you would like covered, share them with me. I'll make sure an appropriate author has the heads up.

Till next blog, take care,
Kevin
