“All leadership is influence.”

John C. Maxwell

Greetings from the Magoffin County Extension Staff! The summer

has passed by so quickly. We want to thank all of our volunteers for work-

ing so hard to help us fill in the gap as we are still without a FCS Agent.

With the new fiscal year in motion, we are excited about the things

that are happening and things that have already been planned. We are in-

troducing two new homemaker groups this month. Check out the infor-

mation and see if you would like to participate. We will be having a lead-

ership training in September so please save the date. The Quilt Guilds and

Homemakers have been frying up some awesome apple pies for their

scholarship fund and selling them at the Farmers’ Market. They have also

been going on some fun shop hops and learning lots of new skills to use.

We have been invited to help with some community service at the

Konia building putting together meals for “Feed the Hungry” on Friday,

August 11th from 6:30-8:30 PM. If you have the opportunity, please join

us in that endeavor. Courtney will be having a Food Preservation Work-

shop on Monday, August 14th and Tuesday, August 15th and she would

like to invite everyone to participate. It will be a come and go workshop so

if there is one particular session you are interested in, feel free to attend the

one of your choice.

As always, we are here to serve you. If you have any suggestions

about new programs, let us know by stopping by or calling 349-3216.
