Join us...4-H Day with the Cardinals
4-H members, alumni, and their families are invited to join us for 4-H Day with the World Champion Cardinals, Saturday, May 12. The Cardinals will be playing the Atlanta Braves in a 6:15 p.m. game in Busch Stadium. Prior to the game, 4-H members and their parents/leaders can take part in a parade around the ball field—that’s right, participants will actually get to go down on the field and march one time around the stadium behind their state or county 4-H banner. Also, everyone who orders a ticket on this form will receive a specially designed t-shirt featuring the 4-H and Cardinals logos to commemorate the day. Note: Groups of families or county groups that wish to sit together must send their orders in one package. Tickets usually sell out, so order early.

Farming is a complex business, and more farm women are becoming active business partners in their operations. Annie’s Project is designed to empower farm women to be better business partners by teaching them to manage information systems used in critical decision making processes. The target audience is farm women with a passion for business and involvement.
Participants will gain a better understanding of human resource issues, business plans, financial documentation, property titles, cash and crop share leases, marketing plans, retirement and estate planning, and types of insurance. Most importantly, the program allows women to network with other farm women in the area.
Nearly 7,000 women from 24 states have graduated from Annie’s Project, and soon there will be a program near you. The program embraces all farm women regardless of age, level of involvement, years of experience, and farm size or type.
Classes will be held Tuesday evenings Jan. 17-Feb. 21, 2012, from 6-9 p.m. at the Warren County Extension Center located at 107 West Walton, Warrenton, Mo.
