National Farm-City Week celebration coming Tuesday As part of National Farm-City Week, Vance County Farm Bureau is sponsoring the 2011 Farm-City Week Breakfast. County extension director for Rockingham County Brenda Sutton — “The Produce Lady” — will be the guest speaker. The event is set for Tuesday 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 a program of speakers including Chamber President Bill Edwards who will represent the local business community. 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 have 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 event is Friday. For information or to register, contact the Chamber at (252) 438-8414.

Over the next five years the Higdons averaged 80-100 associates working in the region.

‘Member Spotlights’ offer opportunity to spread the word Now over a year old, the Henderson-Vance County Chamber’s “Member Spotlights” continues to be one of the most popular free Chamber benefits. This special section of the Business Outlook Tabloid and Chamber web-site allows member businesses to list their upcoming public sales, special events, special products and/or services for free. A link on the Chamber homepage takes all viewers to this special page. Criteria set for each listing is 50 words or less typed in a Word or text document using 10 pt. Verdana. The name of the company is listed first and then the complete description of what is being spotlighted. Entries are listed monthly. Any entry to be listed in “Member Spotlights” will have a deadline of the 25th of the month preceeding when the entry should appear. Entries are listed alphabetically on the page with the company name in bold and the description in normal type. All are uniform in appearance. Chamber Members who wish to have an entry listed should send their information as seen in the November Spotlights below to info@hendersonvance.org by the 25th of the month preceding the listing or call the Chamber at (252) 438-8414 with questions.

This includes: program environment, sufficient space for activities, variety of play materials, cleanliness and comfort of play area, number of staff per child and interactions between adults and children, children with other children and children with activities and materials. In order to receive a total of 5 stars, 13-15 out of a total possible 15 points must be earned. This is the highest star rating that can be earned for the two component license.
