| Impact Report | 2006 - 2007 has been a learning curve for new Home Economist. The HEC program 4-H participation seems to be dwindling indicated by lack of participation in county contests, practices, achievement day, etc. I do see and observe some burnout with existing leaders, but also see a "new crop" of 4-Hers and volunteers emerging. I see committment and promise yet I also see that I have a huge challenge to gain back participation in the Home Ec side of things. I plan to visit each club beginning January to "talk up" the HEC projects . One of my Nutrition Educators (April Teague) is also planning to start a new 4-h club focused on food preparation and nutrition. This is met with great excitement by the local press and former 4-H members. New faces and enthusiasm is in the wings! I had an opportunity to attend Livestock School this past summer and that was a great experience for me to better understand all that raising 4-H animals involves. I helped organize indoor contests and practices,secured judges for contests, achievement day and county fair. I attended 4-H banquet, State 4_H Conference as a chaperone. I am excited about the new quilt project and plan to have a workshop around that during spring break. |
