Record book 2014 results

Congratulations to all 5 District 4H Senior Record Book winners. You have all done a good job with record keeping. Note to all record keepers, word usage and use of paragraphs are very important to show growth and age in record keeping. Reading your score sheet and instruction sheet are also very helpful, following them makes judging much simpler and you don’t aggravate a judge. Shannyn Bird 96 points, Eli Butler 95 points, Jarett Tormy 76 points, Chena Litzen 74 points, Maia Siegel 74 points. Congratulations to Shannyn Bird on being our 2014 State Senior Record Book winner. Thank you to all!

"TAW, MIRL, JFF, MOS. These are not military acronyms, but common “shorts” for text messaging. The object of this workshop is to provide an increased awareness about the misuse of smart phones and other mobile devices. Sexting and cyber-bullying instances are gathering more and more attention due to the negative consequences that might impact both the sender and the receiver of the message. Learn techniques of how to help decrease and prevent sexting and cyber-bullying and what to do when you are made aware of it happening. "

4-H was represented at the Respecting our Culture, Raising our Voice event held September 29, 2014. The event included a kuspuk and traditional wear fashion show and a community walk to promote Breast Cancer awareness and community health.

Alaska 4-H is Statewide!
Have you Ever wanted to train a guide dog, make a kuspuk, raise a reindeer or learn Japanese drumming?

…If so, then you have come to the right place!
These and other opportunities are there for members of Alaska's 4-H programs. Sponsored jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension Service, Alaska 4-H is the educational youth development program of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Led by adult volunteers, with assistance from Extension 4-H Youth Development agents, local 4-H clubs are part of the national 4-H system and can draw upon those resources as well as those offered by the University of Alaska and other public and private sector agencies and businesses. While local 4-H clubs are founded according to national guidelines and united by the 4-H mission, they are led by adult volunteers who develop programs that fit youth interests and needs. Club activities are limited only by imagination.
We are everywhere! Find your district HERE!

To Make the Best Better!
The 4-H Motto is "To Make the Best Better".
Alaska 4-H'ers are asking their peers to help them in leading a Revolution of Responsibility - a movement for positive change in their community and in turn every community across the world! 4-H youth are real people, your neighbors, your classmates and your friends with a mission: a revolution for doing the RIGHT thing, making the best better, leaping high over hurdles, making a measurable difference right where they live for the greater of their community, their country and their world.

That takes uncommon commitment.
