update on raymond poe
I spoke with mrs. poe at noon. raymond was coming out of surgery. all was looking good. still in a lot of pain. keep them in your prayers.
Raymond Poe
For those who haven't heard yet. Cathleen Poe's husband, Raymond, was hit from behind by an 18 wheeler on highway 82 last night. They have been long time volunteers and supporters of the 4H program here. Their children all have been and are involved in our program (Gabe, Christy, Josh, and Katrica). He was airlifted to Tupelo hospital. He has several injuries. His neck is broken in 2 places. But it is a blessing from God that he is not paralized. His thigh bone is broken. His head is messed up pretty bad and he has some broken fingers. He is in a lot of pain and they are expected to do surgery sometime this morning approximately around 10 or 11. The other person that was on the tractor was Sammie Jones, from Maben. He died at the scene. This was Raymond's cousin. Raymond was in intensive care last night, but he has since moved to a room. Please keep them in your prayers. If you wish to contact her cell # 662-722-2990.
I spoke to Cathleen a little while ago. They are hanging in there. They hope to do surgery this afternoon or tomorrow. They are asking for prayers now. This is a wonderful family. If you would like to make a donation send it to us at our office or to them directly. We will be putting any donation on a gift card to family. Their address is:

Magnolia Young Cultivators NEW 4-H Club
Christy Harrell has started a new club called magnolia young cultivators. see below for more information.
Magnolia Young Cultivators is a farm-style scout program for girls and boys ages 6-13. We will meet the second Monday of every month at 2pm at the MSU Extension office.
Our first meeting will be a Reusable shopping bag swap in September. Gather three bags for each participant and we'll swap them. This will qualify you for the beginner and expert levels of the It's in the Bag. Start now by being responsible for gathering the shopping bags for three different shopping trips and you'll be qualified for intermediate level. That means you'll have three certificates and one badge after just our first meeting. I'll also be giving certificates for these categories,

Robot Round-Up at the 4-H Village
We are pleased to announce a fun robotics opportunity for your 4-H youth at the State Fair! On October 16th we will host the Robot Round-Up at the 4-H Village. Your 4-H'ers can build, program, and
decorate a robotic animal to show. Robotic animals only eat batteries so there is no food involved and no clean-up if you know what I mean. This is a great "first robot project" as it comes with building instructions and programming instructions. Space is limited, be sure to check out the attached flyer for details. It'll be fun, it'll be exciting...we can't wait to see you there!

4-Her’s Pull for Ronald McDonald House!
The Service Learning Project for 2010 Congress was collecting the pop tabs from soda cans to benefit Ronald McDonald House (The House that Love Built) in Memphis, TN. 4-H’ers across the state collected more than 500 pounds of pop tabs. This Service Learning Project was easy and 4-H’ers were proud to support this “home-away-from home” for families with a child battling cancer or another catastrophic illness and who is receiving treatment at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.
This service learning project will continue for Congress 2011, so start saving pop tabs now.
