pushed to junk email folders. Please add [email protected] to your list of email addresses that are OK to

Announcing:
The Adult Leader’s Corner!!
Each newsletter, we plan to pass along highlights
from the adult leader’s meeting along with up-
coming issues, entertainment and the snack
committee for the next meeting. We hope that you
find this helpful and know that ALL leaders and
parents are invited to attend these leader
meetings…not just the main leaders! The only
difference between a leader and non-leader is a
leader can vote. Everyone has a voice and trusts me,
you CAN make a difference!
Did you notice the newsletter’s new name?
“4-H Connections” and that’s just what we hope to
do…Connect our 4-H families. Help us by reaching
out and offering talents and skills that can enhance
our 4-H programming for our youth.
Thank you to: Fast Trackers and Buchanan Badgers
for providing our January entertainment. Woodlawn
for our snacks. Thanks to reading the 4-H Leaders
Reference guide! Those who attended the January
meeting. The snow did start during our meeting.
Those who organized the game during the meeting.
It was fun and keeps the meeting moving!
Our next adult leaders meeting is scheduled for
April 25 beginning at 7:00, located at the Town of
Center Hall. Items on the agenda include: A vote
about last month’s meeting, a vote on a by-law
change that was tabled, committee reports, 2016 Fair
up-dates, and member-led entertainment. Snack
provided by: Fast Trackers (coordinate and purchase
the milk), Liberty Local-Motions, New Horizons,
and North Star.
Remember, this meeting is open to all leaders and
adults. Leaders, we encourage you to bring someone
from your club who has never attended.

4-H History
Our history is rich and worth the effort
it is going to take to compile and
preserve for all to enjoy. We currently
are looking for pictures and
articles from drama, food & clothing
revue, speaking, and music contests and
events. Please identify the people in the pictures and
what it was from. Drop off or mail to the county
