Good suggestion Jim, we will be sure to include this on the agenda for discussion. Kirk had been central to this process with the 4H programs.

Hi Joyce,

I just  got back from a staff meeting and have an agenda item if it can be accommodated – Is there a way we can make the online volunteer accreditation less complex and more friendly to process?

Thanks,

Subject: [CED/CD/EAT] conference call agenda items

Kristie,
   I will be on the road tomorrow and may not be able to connect to the conference call from my cell phone.  If not, here is my input to the conference call.
   So far, I have not received any agenda items except the one from Sandra Saad that was forwarded to her from Ethan Orr, "Also I mentioned the retreat to our AVP for tribal affairs, she grew up in Chinlee and would be happy to set us up with a tour guide of the canyon if anyone is interested, she can arrange for a very good price. Ethan"
       No one requested a tour with a tour guide, so I have not looked into it.  However, if anyone is interested, it could possibly be arranged for early Tuesday morning or Thursday afternoon.  At this point, I am not sure what would be involved.  Perhaps the tour guide would provide the vehicle.  I think that interested people would be on their own for a guided Canyon de Chelly tour.
         Update about the Chinle retreat:  We are meeting on Tuesday (5-19-15) from 1-4 p.m. at the Holiday Inn.  We will have county updates and presentations from Gerald Moore, Grey Ferrell, Jeannie Benally, Matt Livingston and Felix Nez.  We will travel to Dine College at Tsaile (about 25 miles) and meet with Felix Nez and enjoy a traditional Navajo dinner prepared by Chef Franco E. Lee of Dine College.  He will be serving smoked lamb shoulder, mixed salad covered with diced prickly pear and diced chilies,  3 sisters sauté (squash, bean and corn),  herb roasted tricolor potatoes, chil chin pudding made with sumac berries, blue corn cookies, Navajo cake, Navajo iced tea and a prickly pear drink sprinkled with cedar Benita Litson from the land grant at Dine College will join us for dinner.
    On Wednesday (5-20-15), we will have breakfast and lunch prepared and served in the meeting room at the Holiday Inn. The meeting will start at 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.  Karletta Chief, Extension Specialist, will be doing a a short presentation on her extension work with Dine college.  At 3 p.m. there will be a hike to White House Ruins or a Canyon De Chelly Ranger led hike on the tunnel trail.  You can choose which one you would like to hike.  Both are about 2 hours.  That evening dinner on your own.
     Thursday (5-21-15), we will have breakfast and meet from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. with an agents discussion and administration joining us at 10 a.m.  Ethan Orr may join us on one of these days.
     Lunch on your own.
     P.S. remember that Chinle is on Daylight Savings Time, so our meeting times are daylight savings time, an hour ahead of Arizona time.
    Also, Sandra may be able to provide more detailed information about the Holiday Inn, conference room and meals.
