We are extremely excited to have Lauren join us this summer! Lauren will assist staff with a variety of programs and projects designed to engage youth, support local agriculture and promote healthy lifestyles during her internship  with NC Cooperative Extension - Moore County . Please help us provide a warm welcome to Lauren by introducing yourself when coming to the office and treating her like part of the Extension family.

Lauren's Introduction:

My name is Lauren Underwood and I am super excited to be interning with Moore County Cooperative Extension and 4-H this summer! I recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in Nutrition. I am interested in the relationship between food and health. My favorite vegetable is a sweet potato. During the summer, I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, and walking my dog, Shelby. Throughout my time with Moore County, I am looking forward to working with 4-H camps, participating in local farmer's markets, and learning about community programming.

We received notice from one of our participants that they are unable to attend camp due to an injury. If you know of a boy between the ages of 11-14, we would have space for them to attend Millstone 4-H Camp. If you or someone you know is interested in joining our group June 16th -  June 21st, please let our office know as soon as possible by calling (910) 947-3188.

Congratulations to Sarah Baker for her wonderful performance during County Activity Day! She will represent Moore County 4-H at the District Competition held June 14th in Lincoln County.

Please join us at our next meeting as we plan some fun fall events. At our last meeting, we had great discussions about a fall festival and a family camping event. If you know of any churches or organizations that would allow Moore County 4-H to join forces for a fall festival, please let us know! Our activity for the evening will be to paint rocks with inspirational messages to be placed out in the community.  We will have a pizza dinner available for those in attendance. The Moore County 4-H Teen Council is open to youth who are 12-18 years old. Please RSVP by 12pm on Monday, June 3rd.
