Monongalia County Points of Pride

• Change continued in Monongalia County’s WVU Extension Office during 1999. We filled positions in agriculture, 4-H, “Be Smart! Eat Smart!” program, and secretarial assistance.
  
  
• The second year of the Dining with Diabetes program offered three sessions and class reunions to 100 individuals.
  
  
• The growing Monongalia County 4-H Program now has 255 members in 14 traditional community clubs. Nontraditional members are learning about 4-H through Kaleidoscope, an after-school care program.
  
  
• Extension’s horticultural program was enhanced with the certification of 33 Master Gardeners. These volunteers provided 800 hours of community service and educational programming valued at $6,400.
  
  
• Participants in “Be Smart! Eat Smart!”—a new nutrition education program—meet in small groups with an Extension nutrition associate; they prepare and share nutritious foods.
  
  
• Extension assisted more than 2,000 citizens with horticulture, pest, disease control, and drought questions.
  
  
• The 4-H Junior Leaders have adopted the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention and Awareness Program as a yearlong service project.
  
  
• Extension coordinated purchases of 355.5 tons of hay for 18 producers, saving them $8,160.
