 Here at Extension, we're trying to bridge the gap between languages. My name is Norma Gardner, I'm the admin support here at the Morgan County office, and my main role is to serve our community, our clientele that are looking for the many services that the Morgan County office can offer to them. With me being bilingual, I'm able to serve not just the English community, but all as well as the Spanish community that is on the rise on this area. My favorite thing over here at the office is that I'm able to serve my community. My call is service. It's what I like to do to be able to help and support other people. With the many services that we provide here at the Morgan County Extension, I'm able to serve my community. Everybody that come through this office, I have the desire to serve them with the more cordial and manners and made them to feel welcome being over here with us. Our people, our community can come to the County Extension office because we have so many to offer. We have many specialized agents that can help them to answer their questions. Something that I enjoy about the County office is those connections that I do with these people that I have been working or seen through the years. Like recently on our grassroots meeting, I had the pleasure to see again one of my children's teachers that it was Sandy Phil, an excellent art teacher. We saw it, you can imagine, you know, we give it a hug and it was just a pleasure to see him again. Then suddenly I hear somebody that said, Miss Norma! And it was me, saliently, that I work with her when I was on the Cato City School and she's one of our volunteers and it was such a good pleasure to see all those people again that met them so many years ago, coming over and over again here to the Extension for questions or just to serve others. When I applied for this position to come to work for Extension, I was working as a bilingual secretary, but I wasn't even a change at the time. And the position that came up and was for Madison County Extension. After the interview, I was blessed to have the opportunity to come to work for Madison County Extension. It was a great team that I enjoyed greatly, but then the position for Morgan County Extension came up and we broke up. And I applied and praise God, I got it. I live only eight minutes from here, so I'm so close to the office, I'm in the community that I have been living for the last 30 years and I just really enjoy to be working for Extension. I hope that I continue working here and serving the community for many years to come. Here at Alabama Extension, we extend knowledge and improve lives.
