If planning to attend this event, you must sign up with John at JJRiegler@ag.tamu.edu by August 13, 2010. cost for the day is $20.00.
The Foods Project Workshop that was scheduled for Thursday, July 15, 2010 has been postponed. Due to the issues at the office, a new location needs to be determined and more time is needed to plan a great workshop. Keep watching the blog for rescheduling information.
The good news is that our email as been restored, so you may use my cmtalley@ag.tamu.edu account or John's email at JJRiegler@ag.tamu.edu. The office situation is still the same as we are not allowed to be at the office. I am in the process of rescheduling programs and the locations. The 4-H Banquet will still go on as planned. Invitations will be out in the mail soon. If you have questions, please try to send those via email at this time. There is a number where our receptionist can be reached so please call the health and human services main number, 854-4100 and ask for the Travis County Extension Staff.
Unfortunately, there is not much change since the post last week. John's (4-H Administrative Assistant) office has been deemed a disaster zone and no one is allowed to enter that office for any reason at this time (Per county risk management team). There is also no way to physically get into the office to retrieve any documents of any nature as his desks are blocking the door. We have also been told to not go to the office in general.
If you applied for awards such as Gold Star and any others that have interviews, we will not have interviews on the 13th. A date and new location will be announced for a later time.
I realize this is a huge inconvenience for all involved, but we also must adhere to the strict instructions of not entering the office as structural damage is a huge risk factor.
