National Farm-City Week celebration coming Nov. 16 As part of National Farm-City Week, Vance County Farm Bureau is sponsoring the 2012 Farm-City Week Breakfast. The event is set for Nov. 16, at 7:45 a.m., in the fellowship hall of First Presbyterian Church. Bringing together members of the agricultural and business communities, the event commemorates the mutually beneficial partnership between the two. The event will feature speaker Sam Broke, Director of Farming at the Biofuels Center in Oxford. Also featured will be a full country breakfast catered by Ted Wheeler and utilizing a percentage of locally grown produce. Awards will also be given during the course of the event for the Farmer, Small Farmer, 4-H Volunteer and Community Supporter of the Year. The mission of the National Farm-City Council is to enhance the linkages between farm families and urban residents, providing local organizations with educational

programs and materials about the people who grow their food. In recent years, the major focus of the programs and materials has been on consumer and classroom education. Student activity sheets, teacher packets, placemats and bookmarks are just a few of the materials the Council has created to support its mission. In the past year, thousands of materials were used in classrooms, at Farm-City banquets, at civic club meetings and in other

venues. Farm-City activities are grassroots in nature. Communities across the nation hold Farm-City events ranging from banquets to tours to job exchanges. Farm-City groups work closely with “Agriculture in the Classroom” programs in educating students and teachers about agriculture. Registration deadline for the Nov. 16 event is Friday (Nov. 9). For information or to register, contact the Vance County Cooperative Extension office at (252) 438-8188.

Chamber president meets Fall membership drive offers joining incentive August STEPS class On Aug 14, Chamber president John Barnes took the time to sit it on the STEPS for Self Sufficiency class being held in the conference room of the Employment Security Commission. The class, which is taught by Vance County DSS social worker, Sherri Alston and Henderson-Vance Chamber Work First coordinator, Connie Ragland, is a three week course designed to train, and retrain individuals for today’s workforce. With the jobless rate in Vance County being among the highest in the state, many indi-

viduals are finding themselves in need of additional skills in order to land an interview, get in the door, and sustain gainful employment. This rigorous course presents this information in a “real-world” sense. Participants are taught tips on resume preparation, application completion, interviewing, follow-up, job searching and more. Barnes took a hands-on approach by letting participants know exactly what employers look for. He did a spontaneous “firm handshake, eye contact test” with all of the participants

and stated to them the importance of making that good first impression. He also gave basic pointers on appearing confident, appropriate dress, smiling and remaining positive. In addition, Barnes offered reassurance that individuals in this county are not alone in their quest for finding employment. “Unemployment, as we know it, is a systemic problem and the Chamber and other government entities are doing what they can to ensure that local businesses stay in the area and that new businesses are brought into the area” said

Barnes. He also explained the Chamber’s purpose and its role in the community so that participants would have a thorough understanding of the Chamber and what it does. Participants in the class were encouraged and appreciated the knowledge that was shared with them by Barnes. For more information on eligibility requirements for the class and how to sign up, contact Vance County DSS at (252) 492-5001 and ask for a Work First social worker. A new class begins on the first Monday of each month.

The Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce will be conducting their Fall Membership Drive from Oct. 1-Dec. 31. As a special incentive, the Chamber’s Board of Directors has authorized a 20-percent discount on membership dues for new members and they will not be billed again until January 2014. So not only do businesses receive the discount, but they also get one to three free months depending on the month they join. The focus of the drive will be today (Nov. 7) at the Chamber summit entitled “Plugged in, Productive and Profitable.”

The event will be held at the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Along with other Summit sponsors, the Vance County Chamber will have an information and membership table manned by volunteers who will be available to inform and educate potential members on the power of Chamber membership and to process applications as well. “With the business community’s continued support, the Chamber will be able to do more in the future as we prepare for another successful year,” said director of Membership Services, Rachel Hedrick.
