Is it possible to be TOO green?

So I love the 4-H graphic at the top of the page, but the green background for the blog text makes it a little hard for to read! Can we maybe make the surrounding background 4-H green and leave the background behind the text white or a lighter color?

Alachua County 4-H Council, December 18th 2007

Alachua County 4-H Council, December 18th 2007

The meeting was called to order by Amber at 7:00pm. The pledges were lead by Mary and Tori. The minutes were read by Mary. There was no correspondence. Club reports were given by Tori-Micanopy friendship, Laura-Town and Country and Amber-Rocky Creek. The treasurers report was given by Tori, we have 1,272.95.

Old Business: Tori gave out fliers about the T-shirt design contest.

Next we had short committee meetings followed by reports. Kay gave the first report or the publicity and recruitment committee. They are currently working on putting together a county 4-H website. Next, Mary gave the community service committees report. She gave an update on the heifer international project. The project will start in January and end at the end of the year awards ceremony in May. Members of the committee will be visiting each of the 4-H clubs in Alachua County in order to get the clubs involved in the project. They will be giving each club information on how they can raise money for this project.

New Business: Mrs. Ott, the Banners grandmother, passed away recently. She was a 4-H volunteer that worked with the Micanopy Friendship club. The council would like to make some sort of memorial in her honor. There was a motion to have a memorial committee to decide what the council would do for Mrs. Ott. The motion passed and a sign up sheet was passed around for anyone interested in serving on that committee.

After announcements and birthdays, the meeting adjourned at 7:27pm.

From Mr. Ernie - Alachua County Group, check out this post below from the National 4-H Blog http://www.4hblogs.org/ccn



Call out for 4-H Teens, Recent 4-H Alumni, Volunteers, and Staff: Creating the Future. Together. Online.
Please share this exciting opportunity with your 4-H teens, college-age 4-H alumni, volunteers, and staff! The ACCESS 4-H Innovation Team will provide key guidance for the creation of a new 4-H online environment.
We are looking for visionaries to help design a celebration of all that 4-H has been, is now and will become. We will explore how to create the ultimate online community for 4-H that tells the world our stories and our impact.
You are the experts. Having been involved day-to-day with 4-H, you have the insight, wisdom and knowledge to design a whole new way of connecting. If you are interested in sharing your creativity, your opinions and your enthusiasm for 4-H, apply now to be a member of the ACCESS 4-H Innovation Team.
We will gather for a short series of telephone and online collaborations (between January 7-18) resulting in a brand new 4-H online community. Be part of the select group to help define and design your community for current and future 4-H members.
Apply to be a member of the exclusive ACCESS 4-H Innovation Team. All we need is 1-2 paragraphs explaining your 4-H background and your interest in bringing 4-H up to speed with what you need online. Creativity counts! If you'd like, feel free to show us how by creating a video, artwork, whatever expresses your thoughts for a new 4-H online, as well! We'll also need your contact information (name, age, home state/county, phone number, email address). College students who are 4-H alumni are welcome as well!
