The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday January 4, 1979 -FIVE
County 4-H forms youth committee
Morrow farmers named to ASC
To help us identify pro
grams and interests, from a
youthful eye view, we are now
putting together a committee
of older 4-H members. Any
older 4-H member wishing to
serve on the committee is
asked to contact Birdine or
John before Jan. 8.
Serving on the committee
will mean attending several
meetings a year, as well as the
opportunity to meet with the
leaders council and have full
voting power on any issue
discussed. Five older mem
bers have already volunteer
ed, and will be invited to
attend the leaders meeting
which is scheduled in their
area in January.
JAN REPORTS ON
NATIONAL 4-H CONGRESS
One of the great things
about working with the 4-H
Extension Ji3 Events....
wnn
Birdine Tullis
program is when the kids
come by to say hello during
vacation, and share their
thoughts on college or other
special things. Jan Peterson,
lone, came by, and she
reported that she is loving
every minute of her life at
OSU, plus she had the thrills of
National 4-H Congress to
share. She promises me she
will write an account of her
Chicago experiences soon, so
we may share them all with
you. Erin Evans, Irrigon our
other National 4-H Congress
delegate has slides of her trip
to Chicago, and will be putting
together a slide show to share
with all 4-Her's.
Anita Davidson, another 4-H
alumni, sends greetings to
4-H, as well as an update on
her experiences at school in
Seattle. Anita had made
application to be an IFYE, but
was having surgery on her
ankle when interviews were
held in Corvallis. Anita hopes
to be off her crutches in
another month. She is working
with the handicapped, and has
hopes of a job in Seattle after
her graduation from college in
March.
And there are other words
that come from our former
4-Hers we always welcome
their messages!
