TLA is in full swing with 20 youth participating in the program. In January, youth traveled to Pierre to the Cap-
itol and visited with legislators. Learned about the bill making process and toured the Capitol. In February we
met at the community room at the courthouse. We had a fun day getting to know each other while doing some
brain storming about future projects for summer 2020. These youth have come up with some great ideas and
are learning about how to plan an event or program. You might see some extra faces this summer as they help
with ongoing events/programs. This is part of their training as well to see how other things run in and around
our area when it comes to 4-H activities. Stay tuned as we unveil these new and exciting programs! Our speaker
Ty Eschenbaum shared his story about beating childhood cancer and his journey. Mind set made a huge differ-
ence in how he has met and overcome some of the most difficult times in his life. This month we met in Plank-
inton and focused on communication and public speaking. Amy Blum, “ The Writing Rancher”, joined us to
share her story and everyone was able to work on their elevator speech. Amy talked about the importance of
taking opportunities and how effective communication gets you in the door when pursuing your dreams. After-
noon tours included a visit at Custom Genetic Solutions, where Ben Roudabush took us through the lab and
bull housing. Ben hit on their communication efforts as a company, and they really tailor communication to
each client and how they like to receive information. Our last stop took us to KORN radio station where JP
Skelly, news broadcaster, gave us the tour of the station and explained how radio is such a good tool for com-
munication. When interviewing JP really tries to tell the story, “If you don’t tell your story know one else will
tell it for you!” This is so true in our day and age. There is so much to be learned from each other. Amy Blum
echoed that in her presentation as well, on how some of the most conversational people she’s encountered are
in the agriculture. So in all honesty I think we just need to be louder and tell our story to anyone who will listen.
You are all part of 4-H, agriculture, rural South Dakota, consumers, producers, cheerleaders and advocates. Tell
your story! Pictures on page 3

Service Learning Project About Teens for Jeans
• This project was selected by del-
egates in attendance of the 2019
Teen Leadership Conference.
• It is coordinated by the State 4-H
Ambassador Program.
• This project strives to ensure that
no one has to go without a pair of
jeans!
What will this project look like
in my county?
• Each county office is encour-
aged to collect jeans to partici-
pate in the statewide communi-
ty service project.
• Create a jeans drop off location
at your county office or at dif-
ferent locations around your
community.
• Once the box is full, count the
jeans and record it on the
2019-
20.TeensForJeans_CSProject_
ImpactReport.
If you are a club who would like
to help with this state wide pro-
ject please contact your county
office so we can assist you!

Public Presentations Update
The following rule changes will be implemented starting in
2020:
• Maximum time limit deductions have changed for all
Demonstrations, Public Speaking, and
• Illustrated Talks. They will now include a 3-point deduc-
tion for the first minute over, and an additional one point
deduction per each minute after that.
• Senior age 4-H members must set-up the entirety of their
presentation to include: supplies and digital presentation.
If a senior 4-H member receives assistance from an adult,
with the exception of extenuating circumstances to be
determined by the event host, a 3-point deduction will
occur to their overall score.
• The following registration change will start in 2020:
Teams participating in Public Presentations will have one
member register the presentation via a team lot, at which
point they will indicate their team mate(s) and desired
time for the presentation.
Additionally, please make sure to emphasize to youth at-
tending state that it is highly advised to bring their
presentation on a flash drive, as internet is not a guaran-
tee.
We are also looking for suggestions for judges, so if you
know of someone who would be a great fit, please contact
Michelle May, Alina Krone-Hedman, or Hilary Risner with
their information.
