Our SPIN on Things

  It is our last day in Raleigh at 4-H Citizenship Focus and we need to put just the right spin on it.  NC SPIN that is.  NC SPIN is a political show that airs on UNC TV.  It allows for an open discussion of the topics that affect all North Carolinians.  Although it may not be on the top ten streaming shows for most of our participants, the mock show, with real life panel members opened their eyes to many different sides to the same topic.  Our 4-H members even had the chance to get up and ask questions of the panelists.  It was an interesting conversation and our youth a unique perspectives to add to the conversations.
  At the end it was time to write thank you notes to the Electric Cooperatives that underwrite this opportunity for our youth.  Without their assistance this program would not be possible and this is an opportunity unlike any other, that our 4-H members get so much out of.
  After the event was over it was time for a special treat.  We headed over to smashed waffles only to find out they had closed their Raleigh location.  It was a sad moment, but then we found another local across from NCSU's campus and enjoyed our last meal in the big city.
  If you are a 4-H member and will be 14 to 18 next year, and are interested in taking part in this program, make sure to fill out an application next year and submit it by the deadline to be considered.  For more information feel free to contact Shea Ann DeJarnette, 4-H Extension Agent, at Shea_Ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu.
