NEWSLETTER PARK COUNTY 4-H

2015JULY

GREETINGS FROM KELSEY

It's hard to believe the 4th of July has been celebrated! There has been a lot of great learning going on this summer and it has been such a pleasure for me to see our members excelling with presentations, robotics, and the livestock clinics we have had. I am not always able to be where our members are learning, but I wish I could be. I am sure our volunteers and parents are busy preparing our members for Fair, but if you need anything don't hesitate to contact our office!

4-Hers, remember that sometimes we focus on competition during Fair time, and it seems very important, but whether you place 1st or last it is the fact you worked hard that is the most important thing. I know you all work hard and I want to say bravo for your time and commitment!

Good luck!

Kelsey

Portfolios will be due this year on September 15th

PORTFOLIO INFORMATION

There is a new portfolio format if you would like to check it out at http://www.uwyo.edu/4-h/

portfolio/index.html

This is a type and save format. Due to some technical difficulties with the website at this time you

will need to go in through Internet Explorer to use the type and save version. Make sure to use the

correct version for your age division.

If you have already started your portfolio with last years version from the state level please do not

panic because we will be accepting both versions this year. Remember filling out a portfolio helps

to earn scholarships, trips and awards.

Now would be a good time to have your goals filled out and complete as much of your portfolio as

you can.

Leaders:

Rachel Olsen and Julie Miner are working on putting together a project list and

a list of leaders that are available to help with those projects for the general

membership to use as a resource for help in that project area. If you are availa-

ble to help with a particular project please call the office at 754-8836 to let them

know you would like to be on the list.
