Steve Sutton LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY AT JUNE DAIRY MONTH LUNCHEON 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 1, 2007. 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 STATE LIVESTOCK/MEATS JUDGING CONTESTS SET FOR JUNE 5 The state 4-H livestock and meats judging contests have been set for Tuesday, June 5 at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. Each region is eligible to send four teams to each event. Those qualifying include:
Registration will be at 9:00 a.m CDT with the contests getting underway at 10:00 p.m. There will be awards banquet at 4:30 p.m. CDT. Steve Sutton WARREN COUNTY WELCOMES 19 NEW HONOR CLUB MEMBERS Warren County had 19 Honor Club applications approved in April. Congratulations to 4-H agents Jamie Harris and Michael Barry on making opportunities available that would enable such a large number of applicants to be accepted. Remember Honor Club is a recognition program. Honor Club recognizes members for participation in educational opportunities; membership does not involve winning any kind of competition. Members receive points on the application form just for participating. Any 4-H’er meeting a minimum number of points can achieve Honor Club recognition. An active Honor Club is an indication of a quality teen program. Steve Sutton THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today.
