hello

Hello Everyone,

I hope if the snow hit your area that you all are enjoying it!! My fellow council members and I have only one month till our conference and we are done with office. L I have been studying my scripts for January for the big State Leadership Conference. I was to have a 4-H meeting this month but the snow had to come and we had to cancel. Its ok I have been talking to some 4-H friends about Conference and if they are saving those pop can tabs. By the way I hope everyone is. State Conference is almost a month away! When I am not doing 4-H events I am busy working or doing volunteer work at a local library. In January my fellow state council members and I have the chance to attend the Farm Show for a dinner and to take part in the opening ceremonies. This is going to be our last event before our big Conference at the end of the month! I wish everyone showing animals at the Farm Show, Good Luck.

I want to wish the incoming council the best of luck. Some advice will be to give 4-H your 110 or even more percent on all your duties. I am glad I was on council. When I applied well it was like at the last minute but I am glad that I did. I am going into my second semester at college and council has helped me to become a better leader. Remember as a council member you are “the face of 4-H,” but I found in my own county to be more than a face but a mentor and a leader. When the opportunity comes take it and run, it might just be something that will be worthwhile in the end. As John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” One more thing, ask questions if you don’t understand something it’s the best thing to do as someone else on the team may not understand either. Take the green blazer with pride and joy and wear it proudly with each event that you attend! Good Luck!

I hope everyone has a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Until then,
