We also have a nice supply of ‘whites’ – both pants and shirts that members are wel-come to take home and use. Please contact the 4-H office to make arrangements.

4 - H U N I F O R M S U P P L I E S The 4-H Office no longer keeps a supply on hand. We do still have Record Book Covers for sale at $3.50 each.

If your club members need to order hats, scarves, or ties please go online and order these directly from ‘Leslie Carman’ at www.4hsupplies.com.

P R E S E N T AT I O N T I P S TIPS for advancing to sec-tional PD and having a successful experience in-clude the following: Have a concluding state-

ment at the end of your presentation so the judges are certain your presentation is com-pleted. Then, after a brief pause, ask if there are any questions from the judges.

When you think that the judges have finished asking all of their ques-tions, say something like “if there are no further questions from the judges, this concludes my presentation, thank for watching, or listen-ing”.

Use foam board for the backing of your posters. They stand up much bet-

ter in an easel and you can use both sides of the foam board. You can also re-use the foam boards from year to year simply by replacing what you have attached to them.

Read the 4-H Presentation Manual for other tips. It is located on our county 4-H website, and on the state 4-H website.

FSA Y O U T H L OA N S The U.S. Department of Ag-riculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) makes operat-ing loans of up to $5,000 to eligible individual rural youths age 10 through 20 to finance income-producing, agriculture-related projects. The project must be of mod-est size, educational, and initiated, developed and car-ried out by rural youths par-ticipating in 4-H clubs, FFA, or a similar organization. The project must be an or-ganized and supervised pro-gram of work. It must be planned and operated with the assistance of the organi-zation advisor, produce suf-

ficient income to repay the loan, and provide the youth with practical business and educational experience in agriculture-related skills. Who May Borrow To qualify for a loan, the ap-plicant must:

comply with FSA’s general eligibility requirements;

reside in a rural area, city or town with a population of 50,000 or fewer people; and

conduct a modest income-producing project in a super-vised program of work.

These loans can finance many kinds of income-producing agricultural pro-jects. The loan fund may be used to: buy livestock, seed, equipment and supplies; buy, rent or repair needed tools and equipment; and pay operating ex-penses for the project. Please contact Sandy David-son, Farm Loan Officer at 530-226-2566 or email at [email protected].

4-H CALENDAR Please sell the remain-der of your calendars

by the end of the month, and remit the money to the 4-H Of-

fice or to Jennilea Brookins. If you can’t sell all of your calen-dars, consider giving

them as Christmas gifts to friends and

family. Club leaders may turn in calendar money at the Decem-ber 10, 2012 Council

meeting at the 4-H Of-fice in Hayfork.

THE REVOLUTION OF RESPONSIBILITY

The 4-H Revolution of Respon-sibility is a movement for posi-tive change in every community across America. It is about young people taking personal responsibility for the health and well-being of themselves and their communities . . . and in so doing, creating powerful im-pacts right where they live.

Service to community is a hall-mark of the 4-H pledge and an in-tegral part of the 4-H experience for youth. For the University of California 4-H Youth Development Program, the Revolution of Re-sponsibility is a celebration of 100 years of 4-H youth connecting with their communities in new and innovative ways.

How Healthy Is YOUR 4-H Club?

As the new 4-H year get underway, it is a good time to evaluate how your club’s health. What is working well? What isn’t working well? The following can help community club leader team’s evaluate club health and iden-tify changes you may want to make in the upcoming year.

Which of these statements are “True” or “False” for you club?

Number of Boxes checked “True”

10 Congratulations! you have a very healthy 4-H club. 8-9 Good Job! 6-7 Ask “What are some things we can fine tune to make our club even healthier?” <5 Ask “What are some specific changes we can make to improve our club health in the upcoming year?”

True False

Our club actively recruits new club members and adult volunteers. Our club empowers youth members to make the clubs decisions with

leadership provided by the club officers.

Club officers are trained and understand their roles and responsibilities. Club officers are active members of the officer team and take a lead in

setting the club’s goals for membership, programs, community service and leadership.

The club officers run the meeting. The officer advisor provides advice and help, but doesn’t do the club offi-

cer work.

Our club appoints committees of 3-5 or 5-7 youth members to plan re-cruitment activities, club programs, events and parties. An adult leader is available to coach and advise youth members.

Our club actively encourages every youth member to serve on at least one committee during the year.

Our club works hard to ensure that all youth members have an equal opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our club works hard to remember that our youth members are just kids, and keeps it fun!
