-->

Good morning!

The holidays are upon us and your NC Cooperative Extension Staff would like to wish everyone and early Happy Thanksgiving this week.

-Monday, December 2, by the close of business is the deadline to sign up for 4-H Appreciation Night.  This is a night (December 13, at 6:30pm) for all our 4-H youth and volunteers to be recognized for all their hard work through the year.  The event will be held at the 4-H office and because we are serving a meal it is imperative that you RSVP.  Please call (910) 671-3276 and ask for Jessie or Wendy to sign up.  Youth and volunteers as well as their immediate families are invited to attend.  This is the link to the flyer with more information including our community engagement project for the night.  For more information please contact Wendy Maynor, 4-H Program Associate at Wendy_Maynor@ncsu.edu or (910) 671-3276.

-Looking for a Christmas present?  Think about 4-H overnight camp for those youth between the ages of 9-14.  We are scheduled to attend Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Center the week of July 26-31, 2020.  If you pay before January 2 the cost for the total event will be half price-just $200.  You can reserve your slot now with a non-refundable $100 deposit and pay the rest (the other $100) before camp.  This is an incredible opportunity for any youth.  For more information please click on this link which will take you to the flyer.  To register and pay please come by our office and ask for Jessie Jones.

-4-H Adult Volunteers it is already time to think about State 4-H Volunteer Leaders’ Conference.  This training and awards ceremony will be held Hilton Durham February 1-2.  The deadline to register and pay is January 2 at noon.  As in previous years we will pay the registration fee ($130) for the first 10 volunteers that register and you would just pay for the room ($55 per night double occupancy-$110 for single).  For more information on this fabulous training and networking opportunity please see the flyer.  For more information about this program contact Shea Ann DeJarnette at Shea_Ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu or (910) 671-3276.  To register and pay please come by and see Jessie Jones.  Gentle reminder we take checks or money orders only.  

-January 9^th we have new 4-H volunteer training scheduled at 6:30 pm at the office.  This is for all our first-time volunteers and any veteran volunteers who feel they need a refresher.  Of course, we will have a light meal for those who attend so please contact Jessie Jones or Wendy Maynor at (910) 671-3276 to register by January 6^th.  

Just a friendly reminder, our office will be closed Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving.  We hope you and yours have a wonderful and safe holiday.

Also for future planning our office will be closed December 23-27 in observance of Christmas and well as January 1 for New Year’s Day.

Also, just a note that our 4-H calendar for 2020 is online at http://robeson4-h.blogspot.com/
