Approaching Halfway
Thank you again to everyone who has donated to our Extension volunteer recognition campaign!
We are up over the $1,000 mark, which means we will be able to give each of our winning volunteers $250 to further their community projects. That's great! But with your help, we can do more!
Please consider joining at the Community Builder level. That's just $25--not much more than a restaurant lunch.
Thank you for your support!

Week 1 Off to a Running Start
On behalf of the steering committee for the Oklahoma Conference on Volunteerism, I would like to sincerely thank the indiviudals who have helped get our campaign off to a running start. Our total is sitting at just under $800. We are on our way to $4,500.
I've been rather moved to see that people are giving in honor or memory of someone special in their lives. I invite you to do the same at any amount.
Remember, our goal is to raise enough to provide meaningful awards to 4 outstanding volunteers (or teams of volunteers) who are impacting their communities. Maybe they are working in YOUR community right now!
Thank you,
Suzette Barta

Clover Champion
4-H members are 4 times more likely to give back to their communities than their peers. Join our campaign and become a Clover Champion by donating $44 to help us recognize Extension volunteers who commit their Head, Heart, Hands, and Health to serving their communities.
$111
Extension Elite
The Smith Lever Act of 1914 created a national Cooperative Extension Service--making OSU Extension 111 years old this year! Become an Extension Elite giver when you donate $111 to our Extension volunteer recognition program.
$248

We have 248 Oklahoma Home and Community Education (OHCE) groups across the state. Be an OHCE Rock Star when you donate $248 to help us honor our Extension volunteers.
$365
Green Year Society
The number 365 represents daily care and growth--just like tending a garden. If you are a Master Gardener, or just enjoy gardening, consider joining our Green Year Society by donating $365. Your gift will help honor Extension volunteers who give back to their communities all year long.
$777
Triple Seven Star
OSU Extension has a presence in all 77 counties of Oklahoma. Just for fun, let's throw another 7 on there to reach the Triple Sevens. Donate $777 to be a Triple Seven Star who supports Extension volunteers in our 77 counties.
$1,000
Extension Volunteer Hero
Our goal is to present each winner or winning team with $1000 to use to further their project or for professional development. You would truly be an Extension Volunteer Hero if you funded one of those awards with a gift of $1000.
