During the extension year you are expected to send communications to various county and city groups within your county notifying them of meetings, etc. This is intended to help you in securing your lists.
Lists can be kept on the computer and then generated as needed. This is an easy way of being able to change and update them. Some office assistants keep lists on label sheets and make the labels on the copy machine. Either way, keeping current with groups and organizations is a constant and ongoing activity. You learn to keep your eyes and ears open to additions and corrections that will affect your lists. However you determine to do this, the key is to have a plan and be able to use it effectively in your own office situation.
Here are some suggestions of places to look or to contact for some lists you might use:
