Hi everyone!
I hope you are all as excited as I am about starting off the 2021-2022 4-H year face-to-face! I know we are still wearing masks indoors and taking all of the necessary precautions to help keep things at bay, but I am truly grateful to be able to congregate in person. I'm looking forward to Leader Training on the 28th at the YAL Center and we will send out the definitive time after our meeting on August 10th. I'm also looking forward to 4-H Online 2.0 to get everyone registered for the new year.
It was really great to see so many junior livestock exhibitors at the Sonoma County Fair Market Livestock Event, I got to see many of you and I want to take a moment to thank the SCF board and all of those who made it possible for our Sonoma County Junior Livestock Auction participants to thrive once again. I saw amazing teamwork, kids helping other kids and a community eager to support and learn from them all. We are so fortunate. Our community has done it again, showing the youth that their hard work does not go unrecognized. Thank you!
It is a busy time and I won't keep you any longer. We have a great year planned, and we are looking forward to seeing "old friends" as well as new members getting together to make the best better. Remember that the first CCC Meeting of the year is September 7 at the 4-H Office (monthly on the first Tuesday at 7 pm, at the office through December then at the YAL Center) so I will see you there! Stay safe out there!

This training opportunity is for adult volunteers who want to lead or support an archery shooting sports program for their local club or Las Posadas 4-H Camp, as well as junior leaders (11-13 years of age) and teen leaders (14-19 years of age) seeking a greater understanding of the sport. If you’re interested in helping youth build self-confidence and providing hands-on skills through club programs and projects, then this may be the opportunity for you.
New leaders will gain familiarity with 4-H shooting sports policies, archery equipment, and shooting safety; focus on giving instruction to youth, and practice teaching each other and shooting on the range. The event will occur on September 18 at the Youth Ag Leadership Center in Rohnert Park (9 am to 5 pm), and September 19 at the Independence 4-H archery range in Sebastopol (9 am to 2 pm). A participant fee of $35 will be collected to cover handouts and expenses. Note that participants must be at least 21 years old and enrolled in 4-H to act as a certified volunteer (i.e., lead an archery project).

Dairy quiz bowl programs are an excellent teaching tool as well as an opportunity for competition, which encourages youth to prepare for an in-depth learning experience that benefits them greatly in their future studies and life-long learning skills.
Kentucky Cooperative Extension is offering youth two separate learning opportunities for youth.
Our educational goals are to provide youth with the opportunity to learn about the dairy industry and the science behind management practices while they develop life skills.
These two learning opportunities for 2021 are:
1.) Traditional in-person North American 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Contest in Louisville KY on November 5-6.
2.) North American 4-H Dairy Educational Experience Scenario- one practical, farm-based scenario related to the hypothetical herd’s nutrition program to occur from October 8-16, 2021.
States may choose to send a team to either option or both. Team members can be identical or different between these two options as long as they meet eligibility rules for the registered contest.
To register for either or both options, the team must be registered through Eventbrite AND a completed Verification Form signed by both the State Dairy Leader and 4-H Program Leader FOR EACH OPTION.

Welsh Springer Spaniel available!
|
|
I have a one-year-old Welsh Springer Spaniel puppy who was the pick male. I have zero experience in showing and conformation. So right now, I am looking for someone to help me stack him for photos. His breeder is across the country in North Carolina, and I would like to send her the photos she needs to evaluate him.
I would love to have this done in the month of August if at all possible. I will be happy to compensate someone for their time. Please contact me at Debbie.elliott@sonic.net.
