Dear Lincoln, Logan & McPherson County 4-H Families,

Welcome to November! Fair season will be here before we know it. You don't have to wait until summer to begin work on your projects. There are many great educational opportunities happening now to help you get a head start.

• On November 9 @ 8:00 p.m., an informational webinar will be held for anyone interested in learning more about the Fed Steer Challenge. I highly encourage beef exhibitors to listen in.
• Shooting sports leader training- we do have some leaders attending a shooting sports training in December. If you would also like to attend, let us know and we can get you in contact.
  
• Sewing spin club in Logan county on November 14.

Join in for some holiday cheer on December 9. This will be a fun workshop and an opportunity to make new friends in 4-H.

I hope you all had a happy Halloween and wish you a merry holiday season.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,

Miss Caitlyn

The Lincoln County Awards Committee will be meeting on November 10th at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Boardroom at the WCREEC.

Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is a civic education and leadership program organized by National 4-H Council and held at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland every summer for high school youth between the ages of 15 to 19 years of age. 4-H delegates from across the country broaden their appreciation and respect for themselves and others in the world through civic workshops, committees, field trips and social events.

Youth participants learn and practice skills intended to make them better citizens and successful individuals. Youth who have attended in the past have exhibited the following measurable outcomes:

· Strengthened communication, leadership, and citizenship skills.

· Increased understanding of civic and social responsibilities as they relate to the development of better citizens and leaders; and

· Improved respect, networking, and camaraderie with other youth from diverse backgrounds.

This is an educational program that requires a lot of planning and I feel part of this is for the youth members to plan their finances well ahead of the trip. The program will cost $3,500 per participant. Interested youth who are currently enrolled in 4-H may be eligible for a small scholarship through the Lincoln Co. 4-H council.
