The awards, which had been voted on by the association members, were presented at the banquet on May 1. The recipients are as follows:
Congratulations to these outstanding youth development professionals! Lori Jean Mantooth 4-H ELECTRIC CAMP ASSISTANTS SELECTED Twelve senior 4-H members have been chosen to serve in a leadership role during 4-H Electric Camp, June 24-27, 2003. These 4-H’ers were selected on the basis of their leadership experience, involvement in the electric project and recommendation of their 4-H agent and district program leader.
Steve Sutton DID YOU GET YOUR ACADEMIC CONFERENCE BUS SCHEDULE? The 4-H Academic Conference bus schedules were emailed on May 7 to those counties having delegates. If you have delegates attending this event and failed to receive a schedule, please let us know. Steve Sutton HAVE YOUR NAMED YOUR JUNE DAIRY MONTH CHAIR? If you have not already named your June Dairy Month chairperson, please send the information sheet to Pat Wallin with the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association (SUDIA) immediately. Her contact information is:
The information is available from our web site at www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/dairypromo/. This event provides opportunities for 4-H members to build communication skills, citizenship and leadership skills, as well as skills in consumer science, health and fitness, dairy foods, and food and nutrition. $200 will be added to the local county 4-H funds of the three overall state winners in each division. We are also looking for 5-6 teen leaders who are not serving as June Dairy Month chairpersons to serve in leadership roles for the chairperson training sessions at the June Dairy Month Kick Off luncheon on June 5, 2003. We would especially like to have teens who have been winners in the promotion event in the past or who are active in the dairy or dairy foods projects. If you would like to nominate someone, please send me a note with the name, address and brief statement about why you think they would be good in this leadership role. Steve Sutton HANCOCK AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES HAVE MOST RECORD BOOKS Congratulations to all 4-H agents who encouraged members to submit their project achievement records for state competition. Hancock and Williamson counties were the top counties in the state this year as far as number of records submitted. Others making the top ten list this year include:
The Cumberland District led with 85 records submitted; Central had 73; Smoky Mountain had 69; and Western had 63. 4-H agents, volunteer leaders and specialists will complete the judging of the records on May 28. We will try to announce the names of the finalists to the districts by June 13. Steve Sutton LINCOLN COUNTY BOASTS LARGEST ACADEMIC CONFERENCE DELEGATION Registration is in for Junior High 4-H Academic Conference, and Lincoln County’s 18 delegates makes it the largest group attending.

Congratulations to these counties for their success in promoting this event and to all agents who made this educational opportunity available to their 4-H members. If you would like to verify your county delegation, go to ext1.ag.utk.edu/4H/acdmRegist.nsf. You should be able to view the information, but will not be able to make changes. Please let me know if you see anything that needs to be corrected. Steve Sutton THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient.
