2013 The Year of the Farmer
Did you know the National Beef Ambassador Program is funded in part by the Beef Checkoff? For every cow sold in the United States one dollar per head is donated to the Beef Checkoff Program, fifty cents going to the state program and fifty cents going to the national program. The Beef Checkoff is essential to our industry because it funds programs to promote our product. They produce all sorts of beef promotional supplies from “Still Safe, Still Nutritious, Still a Family Favorite” billboards down I-5 in California to “I Heart Beef” stickers given out to elementary students in New York State If you pick up a pamphlet in the grocery store informing you on the benefits of lean beef, chances are there is a red check logo on the back. The Beef Checkoff not only proves on a daily basis why beef is needed in your diet, but works hard to tell the beef production story. That’s where my team and I step in.

September President’s Message
Many of us think that Fall is the best season of the year. I love the oranges and browns that decorate the stores and putting the garden to bed for the winter. I hate to lose my tomatoes and zinneas to that first frost but I admit it is nice to have my evenings transition back to inside activities. And in the Fall we always have the Grant County Fair, one of my favorite activities. It is wonderful to see the kids show off their year of hard work with their projects and to visit with their parents, some whom you only see once a year…at the Fair. Come join us this year, put in a shift at the Cowbelle booth and see for yourself what a positive experience it is for us Cowbelles and the Community.
We need to put together a nominating committee so that we can have a slate of officers to vote on at our October meeting. Please, please, please if you are willing to be on this committee or better yet an officer next year, let us know! We are doing elections earlier this year as we are supposed to list our new slate of officers in the President’s report which has a due date of November 15th.
Gale Moore gave us a two page centerfold picture gallery of the Centennial Shindig in her September Glenwood Gazette. Thank you Gale!

A big thank you to our August hostesses Neline Dominquez and Joyce Biebelle.
Time sheets…
Copper CowBelles it is time to be putting the finishing details on your volunteer time sheets. Our Treasurer will be submitting these sheet to the NMCB in the next few months. These time sheets determine how many volunteer hours the state gets to get credit for and this turns into dollars for the NMCB. There is a time sheet in the back of the yearbook. You may also contact President Hunt if you need a time sheet.
