Lots of Stuff!

This week on 4-H/FFA On the Air I talked to Cheryl Zimmerman, Executive Director of Wisconisn FFA. We talked about the FFA project Operation Stand Solid. They collected lots of pairs of shoes at the State FFA Convention to send over to Iraq. The problem is the postage cost. They are short about $4000.00 from the first shipment and still have 260 more boxes to send, hopefully. If you would be interested in donating money to help them with their project you can send it to Slinger High School attn: Rob Selzler 209 Polk, Slinger, WI 53086

On Saturday, November 17th, Alice in Dairyland, Jill Makovec will be cutting the first official Wisconsin Christmas Tree in Random Lake. You can be part of this festive event from 2-4. Greenview Tree Farm offers over 35,000 choose and cut trees or pre-cut trees, fresh evergreen wreaths and gifts. Directions are Hwy 23 east to Hwy 57 then south to County D and 1.5 miles east. There will be wagon rides as well as visits with Santa, Christmas Carolers, hot cider and cookies. I will be emceeing the official tree cutting at 2:30. Hope to see you there!

I will be talking to Ashley Yager on Monday about Wisconsin Holstein Assn stuff. If you are interested in information from the Holstein Assn, you can call 1-800-223-4269 or for the summer internship position you can send a resume with two letters of reference to WHS Summer Internship, 902 Eighth Ave., Baraboo, WI 53913

I will be on the road Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week. The National Assn of Broadcasting holds their annual meeting there every year. It is a time to learn from your peers and I still have a lot to learn.

Til next time...
