BY JANE MUEGGE
RURAL ORGANIZATION
SPECIALIST
Are you accused of taking more
time that you should in the bath
room? What is proper when your
close friend suffers a loss? What do
you do about a fly in your food?
How do you help a physically
challenged person? How do you say
no? All these are situations which
you will encounter at least once in
your lifetime. How do you handle
them with confidence?
Your Best Foot Forward, a 1990
4-H project, will equip you with the
solutions, plus the answers to many
more questions you may have.
Topics covered will be telephone
skills, being considerate with
friends, dining in restaurants, tra
velling tips, and friendship with the
opposite sex. The last meeting will
give you the chance to plan a
successful and fun party.
Bring a friend and have a good
time. 4-H provides an opportunity
to learn as well as have fun.
Workshops for leaders will be held
on Thursday, February 1st daytime
or evening at Huronview, Clinton.
