<br />
<br />DO SOMETHING SPECIAL
<br />THIS YEAR
<br />
<br />Develop talents that you never knew you had.
<br />Build leadership skills that will help you advance in
<br />your career. Explore new interests. Gain the ex-
<br />perience you need to get a job. Make new friends.
<br />Best of all, you can do this while helping the young
<br />people in your community. Be a 4-H adult volunteer.
<br />As a volunteer, you take a few hours each month
<br />and share your hobbies and skills with young peo-
<br />ple. Do you like to cook ethnic foods? Tinker with
<br />small engines? Direct plays? Plan fashion shows?
<br />Wherever your interest lies, there's an opportunity
<br />for you in 4-H. Any adult (whether in college, retired,
<br />or any age between) can be a volunteer. You don't
<br />need to be a former 4-H'er. All you need is the desire
<br />to help young people while you hone the skills and
<br />talents you already have.
<br />For more information about adult opportunites in
<br />the 4-H program, call the Anoka County Extension
<br />Service at 755-1280.

<br />QUAD CITY CABLE MEETING
<br />
<br />One item on the agenda for the May meeting of
<br />the Quad Cities Cable Communications Commission
<br />is the subject of little used public access and com-
<br />munity channels. These channels may be eliminated
<br />or re-assigned because they have since found larger
<br />audiences on other cable channels.
<br />Any change in the Basic Tier line-up will be made
<br />with the intent to improve our cable system while
<br />keeping in mind its informative and entertainment
<br />value.
<br />The Cable Commission meetings are open to the
<br />public and are held on the third Thursday of each
<br />month at the Anoka City Hall, 5 P.M.

<br />DOGS....DOGS....DOGS....

<br />The City is constantly receiving complaints of dogs
<br />being a nuisance. The most common complaint is
<br />dogs 'running at large'. The City ordinance states
<br />that dogs must be confined. In the country, where
<br />there is more room, homeowners do like having a
<br />pet, but they also must remember that they do have
<br />neighbors who do like to take care of their lawns and
<br />dogs running at large are most annoying. Again, we
<br />remind you to KEEP YOUR DOG KENNELED OR
<br />ON A LEASH!
