How is 4H or Jr Master Garderner doing?

I sat through a State level meeting concerning the new cordinators job discripition. And said nothing until she was unpresent and questioned about promoting the Jr side. "Why!!!!!!, dosen't fit the discribition". Some one said, She wasn't there because she was in another state finding out more about JR. Master Gardeners. I said, Maybe she'll bring something back. I was right New Jersey is the only state with out this program. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I'm not going to wait for all of this to come about on a state or county level. I see that there are enough moms out there working after school with garden clubs. I persoally feel the 4H is outdated and we really can make the 4H up to date along with adding a JR. program. Just some thoughts on what could be better.

Who, Why,???? I must be just doing the right thing. I met a SSgt. from the 605 Aricraft Generation Squadron who has the same intentions, only not garden related. Too bad he spent too much for fake plants for his office today, but fake can be fixed. Chuck has selected my same place for cause for Thankgiving Food as my place of action for a JR. Master Garden Club, The Childrens Home. We have the same birthday and his mother's name in Deborah. There is a key the white elephant. I'm taking this guy bowling with all the kids included. Could I be in love with myself? Zodiac or what! My spirit has found me. We'll make at the least a trustworthy team. I know how radical he is as he was a goalie and I was a mosh pitter. That's it for today no pictures..no time just real time.

Well Deb you did it again being the right place at the right time for the right reason. I went and delievered the food for thanksgiving and left my number with the cook. It just turned out that the day the director, Brian, got the number he had been interviewed for the master gardening program.

Today I met at a state meeting the NJ state cordinator and must say we connected very much through gesters. She'll be very bussy....lots of responsiblities. Also met with Brian today for the the first time and was given a tour of the Children's Home. It must be hard to get your case study about a child through the newspapers.

I see even as a rep. to the Gardeners Collabortive for Medford Leas that there is no standized curriculum. Not every school or organization needs or can follow the same thing at the same time. I've got to still make my own way. I'm starting with what I do best, seeds.

If anyone has anything that they've done that worked well, I'd like to hear about it. It's not as if I can go wrong but I want it to be easier.
