We have a supply of medals for horse and clothing and textiles projects. These medals may be used in any manner you feel appropriate for your county program. Suggested uses include county project achievement winners, record books, demonstrations, exhibits, shows, etc. These medals will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Just send a request by email to ssutton2@utk.edu with the number of medals you need. Steve Sutton ALABAMA HOSTS SOUTHERN REGION 4-H VOLUNTEER FORUM The Southern Region 4-H Volunteer Forum held at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center was great this year! There was a good variety of workshops; the entertainment was really good; and the weather was perfect. Tennessee was well represented at the tailgate. We gave out Moon Pies, RC Colas, Sundrop, GooGoo's, Mrs. Sullivan pies (pecan, chess and chocolate) and other treats made in Tennessee. Jeannie Pell from Bradley County was our flag bearer for the parade of flags. Kane Reeves from Madison County did a great job as our volunteer coordinator-in-training. The following volunteers and agents attended the forum this year.
All workshop handouts that were provided in electronic format by the presenters will be posted on the Southern Region 4-H Volunteer Forum Web site within three weeks. A CD of the complete slide show is available for $5.00 on the SRLF Web site. The smaller version of the slide show is on the Web at www.4hsrlf.org/09SRLF/09forum.htm, as well as all of the state photos and individual photos taken by Steve Patton. You can also see the Tennessee state photo on our Web site at 4h.tennessee.edu/volunteers/rockeagle/index.htm. Next year Georgia volunteers and staff will be hosting the forum. Mark your calendars for September 30-October 3, 2010.
