Where on the Outer Banks would you find the above historical marker? In what country, did Governor Jarvis serve as minister?*
Visit the Historical Markers Database.
This website is an illustrated searchable online catalog of historical information viewed through the filter of roadside and other permanent outdoor markers, monuments, and plaques. It contains photographs, inscription transcriptions, marker locations, maps, additional information and commentary, and links to more information. Anyone can add new markers to the database and update existing marker pages with new photographs, links, information and commentary. Markers in this database have links to Google maps pinpointing their location. How cool is this! Does your GPS device support GPX files? You can download the locations of historical markers into your GPS unit with these files. Push the right buttons and your GPS will tell you when a marker is near; or tell you how to get to them. Some units will also display the text of the marker.

If you think 4-H is just about cows and sheep and cooking, think again.
4-H is a youth organization committed to building outstanding citizen leaders with marketable skills to succeed in today's global society.
Through the efforts of a dedicated statewide network, 4-H offers programs, trips, and scholarships for members, leaders, and families. There are more than 10,000 established 4-H programs across North Carolina. All youth between the ages of 5 and 19 are invited to join! In 4-H you can go to camp, start a business, ride in a bike rodeo, take part in an international exchange, raise an animal, create a blog, give a presentation, participate in a community service project, develop your resume, practice interview skills, learn about healthy eating habits, build lifelong friendships. Best of all, membership is FREE! 4-H costs nothing to join, and you are not required to purchase a uniform.
4-H is the largest youth organization in the United States with over 7 million participants. 4-H is best identified by its green four-leaf clover with an H on each leaf. The four H's on the emblem stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. 4-H is the only youth organization based at land-grant universities and the first experience many youth have with higher education.
Volunteers are the keys to success in the North Carolina 4-H program. Whether you're interested in becoming a leader, or just have a few hours to invest, we've got challenging and fun jobs who want to make a difference. Each County Extension Agent manages the process locally to help volunteers find the role that fits best their interests and schedules.

Away Down South: A History of Southern Identity "If South-gazing is your bag, Away Down South is your book.... With C. Vann Woodward's death, Cobb is perhaps our best historical interpreter of the South and this may be his best book, better even than his fine book about the Mississippi Delta.... Not only has he done his homework, he has reflected deeply and the result is mature (as in good wine), mellow, stylish and tasty."--Edwin M. Yoder Jr., Weekly Standard

Kids visiting for the week and looking for something to do besides the beach. Check out the new website sponsored by Children and Youth Partnership for Dare County. "Connect for Kids" provides a comprehensive community calendar as the cornerstone of its new website. To be truly comprehensive, an online one-stop for community connections, services and activities, this new community calendar requires full participation of area agencies by registering to submit information to be made available online. Children & Youth Partnership for Dare County is currently seeking agencies and their contacts to register to place information and events on the new calendar.
"Our goal is to have this calendar as a comprehensive cache of events for families on the Outer Banks," said Sara Sampson, C&YP Family Services Coordinator. Sampson is familiar with many of the agencies, as she is the editor of C&YP's Family Resource Guide. "We hope this website will, first of all, be a user-friendly guide to services available here in Dare County; and secondly, a resource for families to discover events and activities of interest to children and families." Maybe if you run in the right circles you are already familiar with many of these events, but for grandparents with visiting young ones, what a great way to find out more fun things to do.

ESL Looking for space in Kill Devil Hills
Kay Minis who teaches English as a second language is looking for space where she and her colleagues can teach English as a second language. Several local churches have turned her town because maybe her students might be here illegally. Many churches are beginning to charge for space which makes them ineligible as COA relies on the kindness of strangers.
English as a Second Language (ESL) is a program designed to serve adults who need to master English as their second language. Conversational skills as well as writing, listening, and citizenship skills are emphasized. Clase de inglés El programa de alfabetización en inglés es desiñado para adultos.
