Douglas County 4-H is increasing focus on Family and Consumer Sciences and general projects!

It's true! FCS and general projects are a very active and important part of Douglas County 4-H, and now there's a way to formalize planning and communication about this aspect of 4-H. Your new agent, Michael Lackey, has a great idea. Read on...

"We will hold the first meeting of the Family and Consumer Science/General Project Committee meeting on May 5, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. in the extension office meeting room.

These committees will be used to maintain the positive influence that 4-H has on developing youth in Douglas County. The hope is that these committees will guide their program areas in a positive direction and benefit all the youth involved.

We would like positive input from superintendents, leaders, parents and perhaps more importantly 4-H members. The committee will bring positive suggestions and solutions to issues that may be of concern, so ultimately I can make an informed and educated decision. They will also be used to plan activities and clinics to provide leadership opportunities and project training to prepare youth for continued success."

Michael asks that all interested persons RSVP to him ASAP at his email at mlackey@douglas.co.us.

C'mon! I know for a fact there are good ideas and lots of opinions out there on these projects. Now is not the time to be shy!

This may be a limited time offer if interest is too low. Get the agent while his time is more free!
