In 2014 thanks to generous donor support, the Missouri 4-H Foundation will offer approxi-mately 54 college scholarships ($500 - $2,500/scholarship). 4-Hers who are current high school seniors and former 4-Hers who are college students are eligible to apply. The scholarship guidelines and application is available on the Missouri 4-H website at http://www.4h.missouri.edu/recognition/. Due at the Putnam County Extension office no later than March 29, 2016.

The scholar-ship application format is almost identical to the 4-H Missouri Recognition Form (MRF) for-mat.

Community Improvement Grants Available to 4-H & FFA Youth
Developing a thriving rural Missouri is important to FCS Financial. The Shaping Rural Missouri grant
program offers Missouri 4-H and FFA organizations $500 grants to implement projects that will benefit
their rural communities and youth development.

to accomplish a goal.”
Funds are awarded to assist club or chapter members in bringing positive change by establishing pro-
jects that make their local communities better places to live. FCS Financial encourages applicants to
collaborate with other community organizations to develop and complete their improvement project.
Last year, FCS Financial funded 38 projects across Missouri. Projects improved local communities by
building picnic tables, planting trees and landscaping school grounds.
Applications are due April 1, 2016. An application and more information on the Shaping Rural Missouri grant program can be found at www.myfcsfinancial.com under the How We’re Different tab or by calling 1-800-369-3276 ext. 1173.

Note: Groups of families or county groups that wish to sit together must send their orders in one package. Tickets usually sell out, so order early. Mark your calendars now!

Making Kazoos What you need: Empty toilet paper rolls Rubber bands Wax paper Markers Gummed stars What you do: Show the children how to assemble their own kazoos by folding the wax paper several times so that it covers the end of the paper roll. Rubber band it in place. Encourage the children to decorate their kazoos with the markers and stars. Test the kazoos. Place the end of the roll lightly to your mouth and sing or hum. The vibration of the layers of wax paper should make your kazoos sound great!
