Prayers go out to all of our returning face to face students and teachers this week. May it be a wonderful and safe new adventure.
Also we would like to let share news about two of our 4-H Families. Joyce Jones, a long time 4-H volunteer with Young Leaders 4-H Club, her husband, Dr. Robert Jones, passed away over the weekend. Dr. Jones worked with the Public Schools of Robeson County and spent several years as the Principal at W. H. Knuckles. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.
Also one of our longtime volunteers, Beverly Chambers who was the club leader for Spiritual Generations, is in the hospital battling COVID. Please keep Beverly and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
On to our 4-H Business for this week....
-March 3 at 6 pm and on Sunday, March 7 at 4 pm we will be holding information workshops on getting back face to face in 4-H and what it will require for families. In the fall our club leaders went through the guidelines and families that want to meet face to face will have to go through this training prior to taking part in face to face activities. Please note, 4-H members and volunteers must be active in 4-H Online (https://v2.4honline.com/) to take part as well. There will be more opportunities to take part in this training in the future, however these will be the only two available prior to 4-H County Activity Day, so you plan to be part of our outdoor cooking you will need to take part in one of these two trainings. You can register by using this link or on our app.
-March 5, is the deadline to register for 4-H County Activity Day. This year's presentations and public speaking will be held virtually. Outdoor cooking will be held in person following all COVID Guidelines and participants will have to go through our Face to Face training (held virtually) prior to participating. Please note all participants must have an active 4-H Online (https://v2.4honline.com/) profile to take part in this competition. To learn more about the guidelines please see the post about CAD, which will take place at 1pm on Saturday, March 13 at our office. You can register on the app (under programs) or from this link. If you have any questions please contact Wendy Maynor or Shea Ann DeJarnette at (910) 671-3276 or wrmaynor@ncsu.edu or sadejarn@ncsu.edu
-March 5 at noon, is also the deadline for any teens interested in running for SE District Office to submit their packets. The deadline was previously March 1 and was changed to the 5. For more information about that please see our blog post at https://robeson4-h.blogspot.com/2021/01/calling-all-4-h-members-interested-in.html.
-March 5 is also the deadline for Volunteers to register for our first 4-H 4 County Training. This is the first in a series of four trainings for 4-H Adult Volunteers in Cumberland, Hoke, New Hanover, and Robeson Counties. We are excited to offer a training that will focus on coordinating the standard course of study and age appropriate 4-H activities. We will also give a 4-H update and introduce you to the 4-H Sourdough Challenge and get you started on that if you would like to implement that with youth in your county. To register please go to our app and register under programs.
If you have any questions please let us know. Hope your first week of March is warm and wonderful.
Stay Safe!
Wendy, Christy, and Shea Ann
