Hello!
I hope everyone has enjoyed the summer, spending time with family, friend and I hope getting lots of rest. On the east coast we even had a Hurricane! Which occurred on the second day of school. As we know, hard times and things only make us stronger. I am looking forward to the cool winds of fall. My summer has been busy- with family, friends, and church. Since I have retired, the world looks a little different. I have retired from teaching but not from North Carolina Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.
North Carolina Association of Family and Consumer Science - 2011
This year, we enjoyed the North Carolina Association of Family and Consumer Sciences Annual Conference in March. It was filled with networking, and valuable information from Family and Consumer Science teachers, College and University Professors, Extension agents, and guest speakers. Everyone left with lots of information and wonderful memories.
In June, members of the North Carolina Association of Family and Consumer Sciences and I attended the american Association of Family and Consumer Sciences 102 Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The theme was “Linking Cultures, Enriching Lives”. The conference was full of information, educational experiences and lot of new interventions in Family and Consumer Sciences. The highlight of the conference for me was the PACESETTER DINNER. At the dinner Mrs. Joyce Miles received the 2011 Distinguished Service Award and Mrs. Frances B. Parnell was awarded and recognized as a 2011 Fifty- Year Member.
In July, North Carolina Family and Consumer Science members also attended the Career and Technical Education Summer Conference in Greensboro where many of our members stepped to the front with presentations and teaching sessions. The Executive Board had our Board meeting on Monday night at the Comfort Inn.
