A lot has happened in the last few months to keep us all busy in 4-H.
Thank you to everyone who participated in any National 4-H Week activities. Everything you did helped to promote 4-H to your community and to the county.
Achievement Day was recently held. Many 4-Hers were recognized for their outstanding accomplishments. Also, records were turned in and judged. Your records have been returned to your leaders, and you should get them back soon. Take note of the judges' suggestions because it is time to get started for next year!
Leaders Banquet was also recently held. Thank you to Kelley Koester and Codie Geisz for their leadership in organizing this event!! When you get a minute, it might be really nice to tell your leaders "thank you" for all they do. It would be impossible to have the strong 4-H clubs without them!!
Please mark your calendars so you will remember the many events, activities and deadlines for the next few months. Look for more information in this newsletter and upcoming newsletters regarding some of these events.
As always, keep working hard, have fun, and have a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!

2009 - 2010 4-H Program Fee
I'm sure no one has forgotten about the 4-H Program Fee, but just to refresh everyone on what the policy and procedures are going to be for the collection of this fee. As you know, the 2009-2010 4-H Program Fee is required in order to be a community club member or a Cloverbud member. That fee is $20/person for the 2009-2010 4-H Year. Due to sponsorships from a couple of organizations, $15 of the $20 fee has been covered; this means each person is still responsible for $5 of the $20. The clubs may or may not pick up any or all of the remaining amount. Therefore, we are sending out a form to each of the club organizational leaders to have them tell us how much their club can or cannot support the remaining $5/member. For those clubs who cannot support the remaining amount, the Extension office will be sending out invoices to each 4-H member or family for the remaining $5. If you do not pay it, you will not be able to show at the 4-H Fair, unless paying the remainder of the fee causes a financial hardship on you or your family, please contact the office, and we have a form that you can fill out to help pay for that remaining amount.
We will be having a leader's meeting on December 1 st at the Extension office. Some of the items to be discussed will be the 4-H Program Fee, enrollment/re-enrollment deadlines and concerns, and upcoming events.
Once again, the State 4-H Office is offering the VALUED Volunteers program. The Orientation Series is six modules, while the Training Series consists of 4 topics. Any leader who is interested in learning more about these opportunities, please contact the Extension Office.
The results for Jo Daviess County from the 2009 Illinois State Fair are in this newsletter.
Also, we have just received the premium checks from state fair, and you should be receiving them shortly. Please cash them quickly after you receive them, as they are only good for 6 months. Thank you!!
The Illinois Farm Bureau and their Affiliate Companies offer a wonderful opportunity for 4-H members ages 17 and above to be recognized for their involvement in the 4-H program. The 4-H Premier LCP Award provides several levels of recognition to applicants. Each county may submit two entries. Ten 4-H members with the highest cumulative point totals receive state recognition at the Illini Summer Academies and ten 4-H members receive the opportunity to attend the IFB Premier 20 Leadership Conference in April.
Applications are now available through the Extension office. Applicants must be 4-H members who are at least 17 years of age by December 1, 2009. The applications are due to the office by December 1, where they will be judged. Up to two applications will be on sent to state competition.
The National 4-H Conference is a working conference where delegates attend workshops and discuss issues to suggest future programming for 4-H on a national, state, and local basis. The delegates also spend one day discussing the impact of 4-H with their federal legislators. As a part of this conference in Illinois, the delegation is committed to work on a special project for one year. This project can be a continuation of a previous year, or it can be a new project from the delegation.
4-Hers who are interested must be between 15-18 years of age. If you are interested, please contact the Extension office for more information, as the deadline to turn in this application is December 7th. You are NOT guaranteed a place on this trip; Illinois 4-H Youth Leadership Team members take first priority for National 4-H Conference. The fee for this conference, if you are accepted to attend, is $350. Keep in mind that Federation may help cover some of the registration fee. Cori Elliott may be a person to contact about this conference, as she was part of the Illinois delegation in 2008.
2010 Junior Leadership Conference
The 2010 Junior Leadership Conference is set for February 20-21 at Lake Williamson Camp & Conference Center near Carlinville. If you are interested in attending this event, please contact the Extension office. The fee for the conference this year is $98; however there is a discount to $93/person if there are 4 or more 4-Hers from the unit. Registration is online ONLY and will be open until January 25th. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, that deadline is January 8th. If you have questions about this conference, please ask Codie Geisz, Kelley Koester, or Corey Wachter, as all 3 attended this conference last year.
Citizenship Washington Focus
Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is yet another opportunity to view the inner workings of Washington, D.C. It is a weeklong program that will help you understand more about federal legislation, the political parties, and how to make a positive impact in your community, as well as how to handle yourself with Illinois congressional people. The fee for this conference is on the pricey side…$1,050 at least. However, it is a full week at Washington, D.C!! Again, keep in mind that Federation may help with part of the registration for this conference. If you are interested in more information on this trip, please contact the Extension office. Registrations will only be taken online, and are due by December 15th!!
There has been a major change in how the Culture Kits are going to be handled from here on out. The State 4-H Office will no longer be directly working with the Culture Kits. The Culture kits are now housed in various different counties throughout the state. We do not have any in the Jo-Carroll Unit, as we do not have the space to store these kits. The closest kits are a couple of counties away. So, if you would like a specific culture kit, you need to contact the Extension office well in advance of your event, so we can try and work out some way of getting the kit(s) to Jo Daviess County.
S4-HEIP (previously known as IFYE)
The States 4-H International Exchange Program (S4-HIEP) has opportunities for 4-Hers to travel to three different countries: Japan, Australia, and Costa Rica. If anyone is interested in any of these exchange programs, the application is due on January 15th. There also is a $900 non refundable deposit due on January 15th. The total cost for these trips is $2500 to $5500, depending on the country. We have flyers on each of these exchange programs here at the office, if you are interested in more information.
Project Enrollment Deadlines
You must meet these project enrollment deadlines in order to show at the fair.
January 15: all beef, dairy, goat, horse, sheep, and swine projects
April 15: all other projects not previously listed
May 1: horse lease forms
Please note the change in these dates!! These are postmark deadlines, meaning they will not change unless that day lands on a weekend or holiday (deadline will be the following business day if that occurs).
For those of you who love to hunt, the Illinois 4-H Program has received approval to start a 4-H Shooting Sports program. In order to have 4-Hers involved with Shooting Sports in Jo Daviess County, we need some adult volunteers to step up and take a training course. So, if you know of any adult who would be very good at working with youth in dealing with Shooting Sports, please have them call the Extension Office. While I have not put much of this information in the newsletter in the past, we have had some information stating this would be happening, and the first couple of trainings have been held this fall. I know of at least one for this spring at the Memorial 4-H Camp in Monticello, and there may be an opportunity for a training session somewhere in the northern part of the state. If you, or someone you know is interested, please let us know at the Extension Office as soon as possible, so we can make sure all the steps are followed. Thank you!!
The Leaders Banquet was held on Wednesday, November 4th at The Cove at Apple Canyon Lake. Turnout was good, and we had several leaders reach milestones. Those leaders reaching special milestones include:
1st year – Leisa Hubb
5th year – Elaine Elliott
10th year – Goldie Foley
15th year – Janet Swift
45th year – Elizabeth Schnitzler
65th year – Elda Goodmiller
For those clubs who did not have any leaders that were able to make it, we have your certificates and gifts at the Extension office. Please stop by sometime and pick those up, or I can give them to you at the leader's meeting. Congratulations to all of the leaders for volunteering so much to the Jo Daviess County 4-H Program!!
The Jo Daviess County 4-H Federation is once again sponsoring a ski trip for all 4-H members, their families, and one guest/member. This ski trip will be held January 17th, 2010 at Chestnut Mountain Resort outside of Galena. The skiing will start at 4:00 p.m., and will continue until 9:00p.m. More information is on the back cover in terms of packages and cost. Please note that the Federation has changed the pricing strategy around somewhat from past ski trips. Just to give you some idea of how good a deal this is, the cost for a single person to purchase a lift ticket, ski or board rental, and a group lesson is about $70. Also, I need a medical form and a release from risk and liability form for each person attending. Please do not put multiple youth on the same form. If you need more forms, please contact the Extension office, and we will send you more. Any adult who is attending, there is a separate medical form different from the youth medical you must fill out (it looks the same, but has a few differences). Please contact the Extension office and we will send that form out to you. We may also have these forms on the internet, if Sandy can put them on, or if I get access to put them on the internet (but, I make no promises on this one!!).
