Recommendation - You should be thinking about trying to read/review 10 questions a day or reading in one of the reference books for 10 minutes a day. It is doing this small amount over a longer period of time that will help you learn/remember. (Just keep trying to do it - "Do what you can, when you can, the best you can!"


1. Our next meeting is Monday, March 2nd at the Extension Office 6:30-7:30pm - Book reviews

Please take a look at the enclosed registration booklet to see if there are any individual events you would like to participate in. We will be filling out the paperwork and leaving it at the extension office during this meeting.

(You will also need to pay for your entries on this day - it will be $6.00 for the TEAM events [$2 for participation fee, $2 for each event] and then add on $2 for each individual event you choose to particiapte in).



2. Saturday, March 21st is GOAT FUN DAY @ the extension office. If you have not registered, please do so right away so you can be included in the free lunch count.

(You can also sign up to take this same Poster to the Goat Expo - it is one of the individual events you can enter............and you can also take this same poster to our Local KCYF in August. I've already checked and there is no conflicts in doing this).
