Kansas Leadership Center Training The 4-HFoundation is investing $100,000 dur-ing the next three years in Kansas Leadership Center training in support of Kansas alumni and volunteers. This training is a $300 per per-son value that Kansas companies hold in high regard. The training also includes access to a 360 Personal Leadership Assessment, the KLC Leadership Portal and Web Chats for each in-dividual. The free trainings provide: An individual op-portunity to learn leadership as an activity and behavior, not an elected position.

Premium Sale Requirements It is required that youth wishing to sell animals in the Premium Sale at the fairs this summer complete at least three educational events or livestock activities. These may be Rolling Prairie livestock events, out of district spring shows and/or livestock judging contests, and other events. If you are not sure if an event will count ask Jenny prior to attending to get verification. Also, it is your responsibility to notify the office what events you attended and/or participated in order to receive credit for them. Local club events or project meetings are not the only activities that were meant to count toward the requirement. We want you to attend both in and out of district events for the requirement.
Livestock Project Meeting You have two more chances before spring is here to start meeting the educational requirements for the Live-stock Premium Sale at the County Fair. Hope you can find the time to attend these events and get a jump on getting ready for the fair. February 17th at 7:00 pm at the 4-H Building in Sedan Jenny will be giving a lesson on animal identification February 24th at 7:00 pm at the Extension Office in Howard Richard will be giving a lesson on livestock judg-ing.
