4-H, Youth & Family
Hey everyone! I am excited to begin a new chapter in my life with 4-H being part of it. I met many of you at the Evening of Excellence but thought this would be a good time to tell all of you a little about myself. I was born and raised in Norris City and graduated from NCOE in 2008. From there, I went to Greenville College in Greenville, Illi-nois and got my degree in Communications: Public Relations. I interned with Cork Tree Creative which was a small PR firm in Edwardsville and learned a lot during my time
there. I am really excited to be back in familiar ter-ritory and look forward to getting to know every-one better. I see great things in the future of 4-H and am glad I will be able to be part of it. For the most part, I will be in the office Monday through Thursday from 8-4:30. Definitely feel free to contact me at the offi-cer at 382-2662 or by email [email protected]. As for the Evening of Ex-cellence, it went over really well! I think every-one had a great time and it was a great way for me to be initiated into the

Fit Kidz. . . eat as a family
For most families, the school year brings busier schedules for parents and kids alike. With the de-mands of work, homework, practices and lessons, family time often gets cut out of the mix. One way to make sure your family has some quality time together is to sit down for a family meal most nights of the week. Families that eat together tend to eat healthier foods. Here are some ideas for making dinner a fun time for everyone: Give the night a theme; plan a menu and decorate
accordingly. Try different cuisine such as Mexican, Chinese, or
German food. Give everyone a job. Preparing and cleaning up can
be fun and much faster with everyone’s help.
Pretend to be at a fancy restaurant and be the host or hostess.
Play some soft music and eat by candlelight. If the weather permits, have dinner outside. Assign each person a night to choose
the meal. Table Fun: Guess What’s Missing Have one person close his or her eyes. Everyone else at the table removes an item, such as
a salt shaker, from the table and places it in their lap.
The first person opens his or her eyes and tries to guess what is missing from the table.

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, diced
