Summer is here! For Extension in Currituck, this is a very exciting season. In summer, crops and gardens are growing and agriculture staff is vigilantly working to conduct research, educate farmers and gardeners, identify potential issues and help farmers and homeowners solve problems. Our 4-H staff hits the road hard in summer hosting camps, traveling to leadership retreats and organizing shows and clinics to develop our leaders of tomorrow. Our FCS staff are ramping up efforts to teach food preservation and use to maximize your summer budgets and improve your nutrition. And our administrative staff are working at a dizzying pace to keep everything organized!
We have several exciting things to share this summer. First, Currituck's own 4-H member, Tucker Melton will be running for the State 4-H Presidency. Good luck Tucker! Second, we will have several new staff members starting their careers with Extension in Currituck in the next few weeks. Be on the lookout for feature articles introducing them all soon. Finally, we congratulate our wonderful Administrative Coordinator, Sherry Lynn on being named Administrative Professional of the Year for our district.
