Career Day

Would you believe it that I was a speaker at the Jones Elementary Career Day today?  If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be talking to our future generation about jobs in science, I would have told ya you're crazy!  That being said--I think I'm a natural.  I managed to talk a couple dozen kindergartner's into a career in soil conservation.

Peer Training

Just had one of my favorite days in Western North Carolina.  As part of peer training, a requirement of AmeriCorps, the 30 of us traveled down to Polk County to learn about small agricultural farming.  The highlight was when we hand fed corn cobs to the bison at the Nelon Knoll Farm and Jerry (owner) gave us each a pound of buffalo meat (!).  If you're interested in finding out more, check out their website.  They're good people!

Tired of hearing about the WaterRich logo?  Good news--I think we are nearing completion!  Everyone on staff is on the same page. Now all I have to do is show it to the RiverLink Board tomorrow and pray they don't have suggestions :)
