Ten new Sacramento area Heifer volunteers gathered for a 4 hr. speaker training event on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2012.

The training included rehearsing a two- minute Heifer speech, observing demonstrations of typical speaking scenarios, and an introduction to available resources.

Participants made a commitment to tell the Heifer story in a public forum at least once during the coming year.
