          Vice-President – Darlene Roethlisberger

          Secretary – Briana Sallows

          Policy Secretary – Gayle Champlin

          Treasurer – Steve Trammell

We are excited that these individuals care enough about our County Council to volunteer their time to run the program.  I hope that this year will bring more attendance at our meetings so that everyone has a say in what happens with our County.

 

                  

Calendaring/Budget Meeting

 

On June 14th at 6:30 p.m. at the county office we will have our Calendaring/Budget Meeting for the 2005/2006 Program Year.  Please submit to the county office any dates you need to have put on the calendar if you cannot attend this meeting.  It is important to have every club represented so we can have input from them.

“4-H Headlines”

 

The 4-H Headlines newsletter will begin to be published bi-monthly starting with this issue.  We will try our hardest to get all the information in for two months at a time.  At such time that the 4-H Office gets additional help we will return to the monthly status.  It would help greatly if articles about events and news from clubs would be sent to the office either by mail, fax or email.  This way we are sure to get the information correct.

 

State Fair

 

A quick note to let everyone know that will have youth taking livestock to the 2005 California State Fair, the NEW DNA collection requirements and the deadline dates for requesting DNA testing kits has now been posted to the California State Fair website at www.bigfun.org. Please ensure your 4-H youth that will be attending the fair are aware of this information and how to connect to the State Fair website.

Any questions, please e-mail at entryoffice@calexpo.com or call at (916) 263-3146 the California State Fair.

 

 

4-H Shooting Sports National Invitational

Missouri will once again host the 4-H Shooting Sports National Invitational on June 27-July 1, 2005 in Columbia, Missouri. The National 4-H Shooting Sports program committee invites all states to participate. Check out the National 4-H Shooting Sports website, where you can find links to the National 4-H Invitational, at: http://www.4-hshootingsports.org/

 

 

HORSE SUMMER CAMP

JUNE 21-24

Horse camp applications are available. Please call the 4-H office for one. The space is limited. There will be 40 box stalls and two pipe corrals that are large enough for 2-3 horses each. If you have horses that can share one of the pipe corrals, please let us know so we have space for as many 4-Hers as possible.

 

Please be aware that there is construction going on around the barn area and the arenas. Ingall’s park is excited about us being there and would like to have us back every year. So, as we are listening to all the noise, just think about how nice it will be when it is all finished. If your horse does not like loud noises, please consider leaving him home and come as a horseless member instead. The 4-H area where we will be camping and eating is much quieter.

 

Please be aware it is quite a hike from the barn area to the 4-H camping area so we will be getting quite a bit of exercise! The bathrooms with showers are located about half way in between the barns and camping area.

 

Applications will be accepted in the order they are received. If all spaces fill, we will start a waiting list. You will be notified if you are placed on the waiting list. If a spot opens or if the park is willing to put up more corrals to accommodate the over-flow we will advise you. CAMP WILL FILL UP FAST, so please don’t delay in getting your application in.
