Adult Help Needed at 4-H Summer

Camp

Do you enjoy the outdoors, camping and children? Then

you are a prime candidate for this year’s 4-H summer

camp. Adults (especially MEN) are needed to help serve

as advisors and assist in the different areas. If we do not

have enough adult help signed up by April 4, 2011,

camp will be canceled. Adults helping are required to

attend two of six planning meetings. The next scheduled

meetings are as follows: Thursday, March 24, Thurs-

day, April 14, Thursday, May 5, Thursday, May 26,

and Thursday, June 16, 2011. The meetings will be

held from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the 4-H Office in

camp counselors to plan and implement the activities.

All youth are invited to participate as campers (K - 8th

grades). Please consider helping with this year’s camp.

For more information, please contact the 4-H Office at

865-1107. Remember, if we don’t have the adult volun-

teers needed, camp will be canceled. Camper applica-

tions and information has already been mailed. Camp

members, but enrollment in the 4-H program must be

Helpful Hints & Changes

For Your Buyers’ Letters Each 4-H member that plans to sell an animal

through the Jr. Livestock Auction at the Glenn Coun-

ty Fair is to send out buyer’s letters to prospective

buyers. The prospective buyers can range from your

local feed store, veterinarian, grocery store, dentist,

doctor, orthodontist, car/tractor dealerships, auto

parts store, personal friend, parents’ place of work,

etc. It can be anyone that you or your family knows

or does business with. Be creative, the goal is to

bring new buyers to the auction each year.

You can also mention in your letter that another op-

tion is donating to price support. What is price sup-

port? This is where people have donated money to go

to members whose sale price has been low and it

helps to support them and bring up the amount that

they will receive. A person could donate any amount

for price support. This can also be done in the name

of a specific member or specie. If you are interested

in this, please contact Jody Samons at 865-1107.

Another option is a buyers’ group. The purpose of the

group is to bid/purchase animals that are not getting

any bids. The money is collected ahead of time and is

not earmarked for any specific child. It goes to where

the most need is. If this is something that you might

be interested in doing, you may contact any of the

following buyers’ groups:

Glenn County Fair Buyers’ Group

Irene Skala 865-9229

Clover Buyers’ Group

Phil McCorkle 934-3531

Stonyford Buyers’ Group

Kim Richardson 963-3200

Gary Evans 963-3333

Tim Leach 963-3197

You can explain in your letters that buyers do not

have to purchase a whole animal, they may go in with

one or more other people. Perhaps they are not inter-

ested in butchering the animal, but would like to help

support the program. There is an option of resale

available. What is resale? This is where the animal is

purchased by a buyer, but at the time of purchase, if

they note that they want the animal to go for resale,

the buyer will be given market price for that specific

animal and then the resale amount will be deducted

from the amount that your buyer will have to pay for

the animal.

Voices, and updates in the pro-

gram. We hope you'll enjoy

seeing all the resources you

need in one centralized loca-

tion. In order to build this new

section of the website, please

munity that you would like to share. You can email the-

se stories to: [email protected].

Volunteers who drive during a 4-H

event should remember that their au-

tomobile insurance coverage is pri-

mary and the university’s insurance

coverage is secondary. Arrangements

for transportation of youth to 4-H

events are the responsibility of the

parents. County 4-H staff doesn’t provide permission

slips allowing members to ride with 4-H leaders or par-

ents.

Glenn County Fair

Buyers’ Group Submitted by Irene Skala Each year approximately 350 of Glenn County’s

youth participate in the Glenn County Fair and

Auction, exhibiting and selling the livestock they

have raised through local 4-H and FFA pro-

grams. Taking on these projects is a large re-

sponsibility which requires an extraordinary

amount of time. The lessons they learn are price-

less and will be carried with them throughout

life. They learn personal skills such as work eth-

ic and time management; and specific lessons

about the importance of nutrition and exercise,

as well as, basic caring and grooming of an ani-

mal. The effort these children put forth is re-

warded monetarily through the Junior Livestock

Auction. They use the money for a wide range of

things: school supplies, clothes, cars, next year’s

project, and college. In 2002, in an effort to sup-

port this positive youth activity, four local busi-

nesses established a buyers’ group. The Group’s

sole purpose is to financially support youth sell-

ing animals through the Glenn County Fair Jun-

ior Livestock Auction. The Buyers’ Group con-

tinues to grow and support many local youth

through the purchase of their livestock projects.

The dollars contributed will be used to purchase

4-H and/or FFA ―no bid‖ animals, or for general

price support. A―no bid‖ animal is a sale animal

that fails to have an opening bid and any follow

up bid. The Group will open the bid and pur-

chase the animal if no subsequent bid is taken.

Once the sale is concluded, any remaining funds

will be used as price supports to raise any below

average sale prices. We invite you to attend the

auction and witness the successful completion of

these livestock projects by our county’s young

people. The Glenn County Junior Livestock

Auction is May 21, 2011. If you, or someone

you know, would like to contribute to the Glenn

County Fair Buyers’ Group, it would be greatly

appreciated. A separate account, maintained by

the Glenn County Fair, has been established for

your generous contributions. For more infor-

mation regarding this wonderful cause, you may

contact Committee Chairperson Irene Skala at

(530) 865-9229. Thank you for your time and

consideration.

Our Secretary read the roll call: ―What did you do on your spring break?‖ Our President read the announce-ments. Mrs. Howard gave us a report on the Junior Live-stock Auction.

We also made sure to tell everyone that if they missed County Presentation Day that they would have to attend Tehama County Presentation Day on Saturday, March 5. This was also the date of the Glenn County 4-H Dinner in Willows. Everyone was reminded to bring cookies for dessert and a cake for the Cake Wheel. The Plaza group is in charge of hosting the cake wheel at the dinner. We still needed to fill up two spots on our volun-teer sign-up sheet. All parents were asked to look at the sheet and volunteer their time if they could. All mem-bers and leaders were also reminded of all of the re-quirements they need in order to sell an animal at the fair. We also discussed 4-H camp dates for applica-tions. After the meeting was concluded we all enjoyed cookies and punch brought by some of our very gener-ous families and members. Thank you for a great meet-ing once again.

4-H ROUNDUP APRIL 2011 PAGE 15

4-H Hat Information Achievement pins are fastened to the service stripes, starting with the first-year pin next to the 4

-H clover. The All-Star pin should be fastened to the center of the All-Star emblem. Medals may

be worn on either side of the cap, but not too many of them. No other pins or ribbons should be

worn on the cap. The cap should reflect the dignity of 4-H Club work, and not be cheapened by

fastening to it

every emblem,

award, and ribbon

won by the wear-

er. Keep your cap

clean, especially

when you wear it

with the full uni-

form.
