Hello Air Force 4-H Partners,

I hope your 2021 is off to a good start. I recognize that for some 2021 continues to bring hardship and continued COVID-19 considerations. However, there is still much to be thankful for. One thing is for sure the need for quality youth programming continues to be strong.

I would like to get our UGA county staff and Air Force partners together virtually in February. We will discuss the grant objectives for FY21, the timeline for reports, and current needs on base. Please bring any questions you have to the meeting.

For this first meeting, I created a doodle poll to schedule the best time and date for the group. However, for the remainder of the meetings, I went ahead of schedule meetings out to assist with planning. Please respond to the doodle poll by Feb 2nd. Link to doddle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/prh449z7zmftmkmd?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link If you cannot access Doodle on your work computer I am looking at meeting times for Feb 8, 9, 10, and the 12th. Simply email me dates/times on those dates that will work for you.

Also, I ask that staff members have participant numbers sent to me by Feb 16th at 5 PM Eastern.  Below is the suggested format for reporting, but you can also break it down by month if that is easier and share in the way that easiest for you. I will go over more details about the report at the meeting. The 1st quarter numbers should represent installation work from October 1, 2020 – Jan 31. County staff, I will work with you individually as needed and use your GA Counts numbers. Please have GA Counts update by Feb 16th for me to pull reports.
