| Impact Report | The Home Economist served as the co-coordinator for the annual Progressive Agriculture Safety Days. In two days approximately 1114 participants, including third grade students, teachers and volunteers participated in various workshops concerning safety issues in and around their communities. This event offered workshops that taught participants how to be safe when boating, with firearms, when riding bikes, when handling chemicals, with wildlife, when around electrical utilities and oil; and gas pipelines, and even when on the internet. Agencies and businesses from around Eddy County provided materials and instruction on these safety topics. The Home Economist was responsible for recruiting participants, scheduling instructors, planning and preparing lunches, and recruiting volunteers for the two day event. The Home Economist attended a training to become a certified coordinator for future safety days. The Home Economist also participated as a presenter at the Chaves County Progressive Agriculture Safety Days and presented information on food safety to third grade students from elementary schools in Chaves County and in Artesia. |
