Presidents Message

Vol. 25 No. 1 February 2015

Welcome to 2015! With a new calendar year comes the opportunity to refresh and rediscover opportunities that FCS Ambassadors can offer. Being a charter member of the ambassadors, I have had the opportunity to see many changes in this organization. I hope you will all agree that change makes us stronger. So, as we look ahead to the upcoming year we should all ask ourselves, “What can I do to make FCS Ambassadors a stronger organization?”

Here are a few of my thoughts: 1. Refresh your donat ion to FCS

Ambassadors. Your donation, big or small, to FCS Ambassadors can aid the organization and provide opportunities to OHCE and OCES Educators to receive grants for programming.

2. Be an active member! It’s easy to be a member of an organization, but why just be a member, get active! Volunteer for a committee or be willing to serve as an officer.

3. Attend the FCS Ambassador meeting! Mark your calendar now for October 23, 2015.

4. Apply for Grants! All grant applications will be due by July 1st! The applications are easy and available online!

I’m excited to serve as your FCS Ambassador President for the next two year. I look forward to working with the officer team and will be relying on June Cash, Past President for advice and support.

Let’s refresh and rediscover FCS Ambassadors in 2015 and make it a great year!

Sincerely,

Janna KelleyFCS Ambassadors President 2014-2015

Message to CE-FCS Ambassadors February 2015

Thank you Ambassadors for helping Cooperative Extension celebrate 100 years! We have come a long way since FCS started in Extension and CE-FCS Ambassadors have been critical to our mission for almost the last 25 years. You have taken some risks in trying to increase the amounts and number of grants given and we applaud you for that. In addition we have hit an all-time high in the number of gifts to Ambassadors in the last couple of years. Let’s continue to make a difference and help the state of Oklahoma be the best it can be. Happy New Year!

Preserving History

The Cooperative Extension Service has had a year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Smith-Lever Act. The Centennial Celebration will conclude with two time capsules to be opened in 25 and 100 years. The Centennial Committee has called for items from individuals and organizations that will tell our future counterparts what we were doing and what the times were like in 2014. I have worked with Ambassadors’ President, Janna Kelley, to develop this list of items for possible inclusion in one or both of the time capsules. We hope you will agree that they are a broad representation of CE-FCS Ambassadors.
