This letter includes information about the basic, everyday ingredients of a successful 4-H meeting. Club officers are an important part of the leadership team in the 4-H club. Being an officer gives the member an opportunity to develop and practice leadership skills and responsibility. The following 4-H officers are usually elected in each club: Some other officers the club may want to elect include photographer, historian, and coordinators for the scrapbook, clean-up and field trips. There are special instruction sheets and materials for each of the primary offices. These publications can be ordered through your local University Outreach and Extension office. Because one of the goals of 4-H is to develop leadership skills, all members should have an opportunity to be an officer or committee chair. Some large clubs have members fill an office or committee chair for half the year. Others have junior and senior officers. Both approaches give more members an opportunity for formal leadership. Committees can be used to help the 4-H club function smoothly as well as to provide opportunities for more people to be involved. Committee membership need not be limited to club members. Club leaders and parents are encouraged to become involved in assisting 4-H'ers with planning and supervising various club activities, but members should be involved in decisions and carry them out.

Extractions: A hunger for change By Beth Curda/Enterprise staff writer Tucked away at the end of Research Park Drive, Davis-based Freedom from Hunger exerts a worldwide reach to try to combat chronic hunger in 15 countries through education and a helping hand. The goal is to help people help themselves. And the organization puts into practice the saying, "Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for a lifetime." Freedom from Hunger was recognized in December by Worth Magazine as one of the top 100 charities in the country. The organization has evolved over the past 55 years, though, from a developer and distributor of a multi-purpose food supplement to a wholesaler of knowledge and self-help tactics. The only similarity between the existing organization and what it started as is its purpose: to end chronic hunger. The beginnings In 1944, a Southern Californian who had lived in China and seen the effects of starvation decided to try to combat malnutrition worldwide. Clifford Clinton, owner of Clifton's Cafeterias in Southern California, funded research by Cal Tech biochemist Henry Borsook to develop Multi-Purpose Food, a high-protein powdered supplement that could be added to the main food in any region. The supplement would provide a nutritious meal at little cost. Meals for Millions was founded in 1946 to distribute the supplement and by 1951, agencies throughout the world helped supply it in more than 100 countries. In the 1980s, the organization had evolved again to explore the possibilities of using applied technologies to combat hunger. It moved to Davis to access UC Davis' agricultural expertise.

Extractions: The printed version of the 2002 Annual Report is in calendar format. This page has information with links to the corresponding PDF. Calendar cover For many decades, the Mississippi State University Extension Service delivered educational programs across the state of Mississippi through county Extension offices staffed with agents working in one of four core program areas: agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer education, 4-H, and economic and community resource development. While this method of delivery has been very effective, Mississippians today face increasingly complex problems because of the broad social and economic changes within our society. These issues require Extension professionals with greater expertise in more sharply focused subject areas. At the same time, economic constraints have pointed to a need for a more efficient program delivery model. In 2001 the Extension Service established an internal team to develop recommendations for change. Those recommendations culminated in a plan for restructuring, which is being implemented in FY 2003:

Extractions: Research indicates that many deaths from heart attack could be prevented if people knew the warning signs and acted more quickly to seek medical attention. Yet people don't REACT. They don't call 9-1-1. Why? Here are a few reasons. They are only the excuses we've heard most often. Perhaps the most common is that people simply decide to 'wait and see' how it goes, hoping they'll feel better later. That can be a fatal mistake, and here's why:

Extractions: Celebrating Young Americans is a new national holiday that celebrates and uplifts all children in the United States. Although special days such as Child Abuse Prevention Day, Stand for Children Day and Literacy Day have been observed in the United States to emphasize particular policy issues, no national day honors children in the way we honor parents during Mother's Day and Father's Day. is unique in its purpose: to uplift children. Children's days are celebrated in other nations, including Japan and Korea on May 5, Canada on Nov. 20, Turkey on April 23 and Mexico on April 30. Since Mexico shares a border with the United States and so many U.S. citizens already observe this day, is celebrated April 30. How did the idea get started? Children have always asked: Why is there a Fathers Day and a Mothers Day and even Secretarys Day and Boss's Day and no Childrens Day? If children are so important to our future, why dont we celebrate them like we do mothers and fathers? What about us kids, when do we get a special day? In September 1996, 54 young Latinos at La Promesa de un Futuro Brillante, the first National Summit on Young Latinos, formally requested that the community give them their day.

Public schools begin hiring in March and continue on through Labor Day. The greater the shortage of teachers, the earlier a district is likely to recruit. In fact, many of the best openings occur right before the start of school. Nevertheless, you can begin your search early by thinking about the kinds of places you want to work and researching these (including obtaining information about application procedures, which vary from district to district even within a state.)
