I have been spending my summer keeping busy at the Macoupin/Jersey 4-H offices. I have been in charge of fairs, clean-ups, science and babysitting camps. I have even had the opportunity to be a judge and superintendent for some of the shows. My biggest project this summer is the program I have created for local youth to shadow the county board. I have taken this from an idea and transformed it into a program. I have had to make flyer's, applications, t-shirts, radio and newspaper articles. I have cooped with the Macoupin County Board and have been working directly with their financial coordinator, Gabe Springer. I had the participants recognized during their county fair as well! The program will take flight on August 14th, 2012. Lately I have been helping with our science and technology camps. I have helped the members make ice cream, brush bots, and Lego robots. My favorite to help with was the homemade ice cream. I have enjoyed spending my summer at the office and it saddens me that the time is flying so quickly!!
