Well today starts the first day, that our office is officially closed and all staff is now required to work from home until further notice. This does not change our focus that we are here to help you and give your our support any way we can. You are still able to call us and Sarah Chain, our newest Office Associate, will be answering the phone and directing messages to either Jana or I during our normal business hours of Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We have our computers at home and can be reached by email.
I know there are still so many unanswered questions. Jana and I have been working with the necessary individuals to try and get you answers. We know the biggest one is project books. We sat down yesterday and came up with a plan that we submitted to the state that had no human interaction that we felt would be a feasible for clubs to order books and get them picked up. The good and the bad…….the state liked the plan but will not let us implement it until MAYBE March 31. That is the date the state will look at the status of our society and let us know if we can implement that plan as soon as April 1. So we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to move forward with our plan at that time. So in the meantime, please go ahead and prepare your club book order and submit it by mailing the form, emailing it to us, or sticking it in the mailbox at the bottom of our steps at our office. We will ask at this point that if we can move forward with this, that no individual book orders will be taken, only club orders.
This is just another friendly reminder that we are extending the Knox County 4-H Enrollment deadline until Monday, April 27 at Midnight. Please encourage members to be working on their 4-HOnline profiles and getting that complete. If they need help, have them reach out to me and I can guide them through that. Also, that means we will accept new members until April 27 as well. Club paperwork will not be due until April 27.
Some decisions were made last night in terms of the Knox County Junior Fair. Those details will be forth coming today hopefully addressing any questions that may surround Quality Assurance and Hog Tags. Please stay tuned with that information.
As always, please check our blog, Facebook, and website for continual updates.
