mittees. The committees are as follows: Small
Animal, Large Animal, Static Projects, Achieve-
ment and Recognition, Fair, and Shooting
Sports. Please volunteer for a committee by
calling the Extension Office now!

Never hunted for deer before but want to? 4-H has an opportunity for six youth ages 14-18 to go hunting for whitetail does in Northeast Wyoming this fall. You can check out details online at http://www.uwyo.edu/4-h/youth/travel/deer-hunt/deer-hunt.html and get the application.

Motor Vehicle Records Check

ness must complete the “Form to Request Driving Privileges” in order to be granted driving privileges.
There are two forms: one for UW Employees and another for individuals who are not UW Employees. 4-H Volunteer
Leaders would complete the second form (not UW Employees). The regulation, policy and related documents can be
found at http://www.uwyo.edu/AUXSERV/FLEET/OFFICIAL
VEHICLE POLICY/Adults who wish to be approved as a 4-H Volunteer Leader must complete two background checks.
The criminal background check is conducted through UW Human Resources. Every 5 years, the volunteer leader will
be rescreened for the criminal background check.The Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check is conducted through UW
Risk Management. The MVR check is required each year
It is our responsibility to inform 4-H volunteer leaders about the policy and provide them with the necessary infor-
mation and links to complete the motor vehicle records input form.
This reminder is included in the annual renewal letter from the County 4 H Educator to each county 4 H volunteer
leader (Letter C Volunteer Renewal template annual). http://www.uwyo.edu/4-h/volunteers/mvr-link-

What Do YOU See? A national interpretive exhibit for 4-H members
We each have our own thoughts, feelings and ideas that allow us to see things in a different
way. This exhibition challenges 4-H members to express themselves creatively by answering
the question: “What Do YOU See?”
This challenge can be interpreted in a variety of mediums such as jewelry design, art, wood
working, pottery, gardening, photography, dance, music and other forms selected by
members. Exhibits should compel the observer to feel, think or be inspired by the 4-H
members’ interpretation and expression in their chosen medium.
For more information or to submit your exhibit, contact:
Megan Brittingham, Goshen County 4-H: [email protected]
Brittany Johnson, Laramie County 4-H: [email protected]
