October 13 message
Good Afternoon: This week's message is a few days late or a few days early depending on what week you are on. My weeks have been a bit jumbled lately. I'll try to give a brief update in this message.
My Schedule: I returned to work today and am in the Marshall Office. Tomorrow, (Wednesday) I will be in the Redwood, Renville, Kandiyohi and Hutchinson offices. Thursday I will be at a Regional Director meeting in Mankato. On Friday, and perhaps some or much of next week I will be off attending to my son's medical condition.
Brian's hospitalization: My family appreciates the prayers and words of support for our son Brian. Brian remains hospitalized at Hennepin County Medical Center. Late this week we hope to learn how much longer his hospitalization will continue as well as what level of treatment and support he will need when he returns home. I won't go into any more details in this message as those details can be found on his caring bridge website
Extension Committee meetings: All of our counties in the region have Extension Committee meetings in November. Mary Jo will be assembling the agenda packets. Please send her the current budget updates, program reports from the 4H PC, NEA's and Local EE's for inclusion in the packet. Also, please send the meeting notices from your office a week or two prior to the meeting. The meeting schedules are as follows: November 9: Kandiyohi, Chippewa and Lincoln; November 12: Yellow Medicine; November 17: Lac qui Parle; November 19: Redwood and Lyon; November 30: Renville.
My schedule continued: I keep my calendar current, so feel free to view, schedule meetings etc as needed.
University gifts: Each of you have a gift from the University. Over the next week or so I will try to have the gifts delivered to your offices.
Bob
