Hello Everyone! Happy December! Time is flying! Thanks to everyone who has signed up your kiddos for the new 4-H year! Thanks ESPECIALLY to the adults who are willing to volunteer their time and expertise to our kiddos, for working through the volunteer requirements. A few items to note: 12/1: 7:00pm (TONIGHT): Learn about the Youth In Governance program (4-H youth 14+). Zoom ID: 86857467172 passcode: 467218 12/2: 7:00pm: Mat-Su Livestock Committee monthly meeting. In-person at the Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center, Kerttula Hall, Rm 208. MASKS ARE REQUIRED INSIDE THE BUILDING. Meeting will also be hosted on zoom: 945 296 187 12/12 6:30pm: Alaska Volunteer Leaders Organization event/activity. Please see the flyer attached and contact Priscilla for the zoom info (ak4Hstateleaders@gmail.com) Boring stuff, but needs to be talked about: TAXES One of the items attached to this note is the letter that went out last January to club leaders. This was to inform everyone our status with our 501(c)3. Please re-read it to refresh your memory. Recently we have solicited the counsel of a non-profit accounting firm to help guide us in our path forward. There is a piece that all club leaders need to do for us. Please read the attached letter and fill out the form. Marla Lowder, our Tanana District 4-H Agent, is leading the charge on this one. If you have any questions at all, please contact her: mklowder@alaska.edu Please let me know if you have anything you'd like to share with the rest of the District! Thanks, Ann Letters related to our IRS tax-exempt status January 2021 letter regarding General Exemption Number (GEN) November 2021 letter regarding GEN November 2021 form for club leaders to fill out

Thank you to all who participated in our National 4-H Week contests! Shem D. and Lydia H. can stop by the office to pick up their PRIZES!! Record books have been judged!! The following members have a few incomplete spots and need to come pick up and finish their books before market auction checks will be disbursed (some are just missing their YQCA certificate, others rate of gain calculation or no 4-H story): Mason H.

Sending me a quick email letting me know about what day/time you will be here will make the process super quick and smooth. Thanks. amkowenstrot@alaska.edu Pins for record book completion are back-ordered (since the end of August). I'll let you know when they arrive so that you can pick them up. Club leaders: If you are not planning on conducting club meetings this year, please let me know and we can start the process of disbandment. Please email me your plans by November 1. Thanks.

That form needs to be filled out and sent to me (email photo/scan, or drop off) within 24 hours of the meeting/activity. A blank one is attached here. Please familiarize yourself with the COVID-19 guidance on our webpage. Have a great week everyone! Ann
Hello 4-H Families!
WOW. The State Fair was amazing and the 4-H presence there was crazy! Thank you to all of our incredible volunteers and exhibitors who made everything run so smoothly! You are all truly appreciated. Teamwork makes the dream work :) I have a few exhibits left from the 4-H June Tull building that were not picked up. Please let me know when you can stop by the Farm to get them. I will hang on to them until 9/17, then they will go away. I don't have the space to store any extra stuff. Our Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center doors are locked, but we are open. Please ring the doorbell for entry during normal business hours (8-4:30 M-F). Masks are required inside the building, regardless of vaccination status. Announcements CLUB LEADERS: --I will be sending out an end-of-the-year letter to you that had active clubs this past 4-H year. Guidance for award nominations and record book judging will be in there. --If you are intending on being an adult volunteer again when the new 4-H year starts (October 1), you can start getting your required trainings done NOW. Please see the instruction sheet HERE. The only thing you cannot do is actually enroll. Our enrollment system erases waiver signatures at the rollover of the new 4-H year. 4-H MEMBERS: --Get your record books done and turned into your club leaders. They will let you know when they are due. --Start thinking about what projects you want to do in the next 4-H year! LIVESTOCK JUDGING OPPORTUNITY From Rayne Reynolds: Any interested 4-H member contact Rayne by email sending their parents email address to him only (not the youth's contact info) and he will send them information on the commitment and contest. We are looking for absolute committed and dedicated youth with 100 percent parent involvement who want to be a part of this team. No experience is necessary because we will coach them, however willingness to learn and willingness to compete is required. The youth have to be at least 14 years old and no older than 18 as of Jan 1st. We can take 19 year-olds but we will be training and learning for at least a year. The team consists of three 4-H members and one alternate. Livestock Evaluation develops decision making, problem solving, self discipline, self motivation, team work, organization, analytical thinking, critical thinking, and most important of all the ability to effectively communicate. It also provides the youth with the ability to defend and explain their positions. There are numerous colleges that recruit and offer scholarships based on the livestock judging competition. Being involved on a state winning livestock team would increase such opportunities greatly. This contest is different and separate from Quizbowl and or the livestock skillathon. rayne63@yahoo.com All volunteers who requested discounted/free tickets to the fair --A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME in both the 4-H June Tull building and the Barn. --a note for next year, for those that received free or discounted tickets (as per the request form): 1. if you did not sign up for a volunteer shift in the June Tull building, you will not be eligible to receive free or discounted fair tickets next year. 2. if you signed up for a volunteer shift in the June Tull building, but did not show up for your shift or make other arrangements, you will not be eligible to receive free or discounted fair tickets next year. 3. if you did not sign up for a volunteer shift in the June Tull building, yet strolled through the building and signed your name in the binder as if you volunteered your time (while I'm standing right there), and then walked out, you will not be eligible to receive free or discounted fair tickets next year. Upcoming 9/16: Volunteer Leaders Association monthly meeting. 6:30pm in room 208 Kerttula Hall, Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center, masks are required, regardless of vaccination status. You can also participate via video: Zoom ID: 945 296 187. All leaders are welcomed! Participation from all clubs helps with planning and decision-making. 9/16: MatSu Livestock Committee monthly meeting. 7:00pm in room 208 Kerttula Hall, Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center, masks are required, regardless of vaccination status. You can also participate via video: Zoom ID: 945 296 187. 9/20: Livestock Record Books due. Please drop off at the Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center. To ensure safe-keeping, you can either bring them into the office and drop it off with Theresa at our main desk, or slide them into the "after hours" mail slot on the outside of the front of Kerttula Hall. Please check to see if you mistakenly picked up the wrong record book after the first round of checking. An orange, 3-ring binder record book has gone missing. Thanks! 10/1: NEW 4-H YEAR BEGINS! Please be on the look out (emails, social media) for helpful tips on enrolling, required trainings for adult volunteers, and hopefully new clubs! Thanks everyone! Ann Hello 4-H Families!
Summer is getting away from me! We've had some BEAUTIFUL days and hope there are more to come! As you may have heard, COVID-19 infections are on the rise and the University issued new guidelines last Friday. Here is the blurb from UA Interim President Pat Pitney: This week, the CDC announced that wearing face masks is recommended for everyone regardless of vaccination status when in public indoor spaces in communities where there are a large number of new cases each week. In Alaska, nearly all of our communities fall into that category. Because the Delta variant spreads easily, it has become clear that we need to return to universal face masking in order to minimize the potential for the spread of COVID-19 on our campuses. Effective August 2, face masks will be required indoors at all University of Alaska locations in communities with a transmission level of 'substantial' or 'high,' as defined by CDC guidelines, except when you are in a private residence or alone in a private office with the door shut. Masks are also required in university vehicles and outdoors when it’s not possible to remain more than 6 feet from others. **This applies to 4-H activities and events that occur at University locations and on University property. 4-H activities and events that occur off-site (fairgrounds, library, homes, horse arenas, farms, etc) fall under the "be safe and follow CDC guidelines; try not to make others sick" category.

News and Updates: *CONTEST ALERT: Looking for drawings for the cover of the 2021 Mat-Su/Copper River 4-H District Alaska State Fair Exhibitors Guide. Using this year’s state fair theme “Seeing is Believing”, please submit an original drawing (email to abiddle@alaska.edu or drop off at the Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center). Submissions will be accepted through June 30th. They will be judged by a 3-person panel and the winning drawing will get the glorious distinction of being on the cover of the Exhibitor Guide for this year. All entries will be displayed on a reduced scale within the pages of the guide. “Seeing is Believing”…..how do you work that into a drawing, you ask? Great question! It’s a proverb generally meaning: you need to see something with your own eyes before you will accept that it really exists. It could be something that seems extremely unlikely. Think about strange, interesting, and unique things you have come across in your activities outside, at school, on your farm, in your garden, on a hike. Things that have happened in this crazy last year. The sky is the limit! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! *4-H ALUMNI DRIVE: We are looking for 4-H Alumni! Whether you were in 4-H as a youth here in Alaska or elsewhere! Fill out the form HERE and you will get a cool 4-H Alumni Tumbler! *Shooting Sports Instructor Training: July 24-25 in Fairbanks, rifle and archery. Please contact Marla Lowder (mklowder@alaska.edu) if you are interested in becoming an instructor. *UAF officially moves to Phase C of COVID-19 response: while across the state, 4-H has had permission and been working with Phase C safety guidelines, it is now the official stance of UAF. What changes for you, is an easier process for having in-person meetings. No quiz or leader agreement needed. An approved mitigation plan is still required, but vaccinated individuals are no longer required to wear face coverings. Adults who are unvaccinated and all youth under 12 still need to be wearing face coverings in all indoor 4-H activities and outdoors when a 6 foot social distance cannot be maintained. If your group has a mitigation plan already approved and in place, no need to re-submit another plan, just use these updated guidelines for your activity. Any questions, please ask. If you are interested in meeting in-person, please head over to our webpage for guidance and links: alaska4h.org/current-covid-phase-c.html *Statewide 4-H At-Home Summer Camp Kits: Registration opened June 1 for being a part of this fun "camp". We have 3 more great kits to hand out in July, August, and September. Please see the flyer below and head to THIS page for more info and how to sign up. *Chicken equipment: please email Fran (fmarch02@gmail.com) if you have a youth in need of equipment to raise chickens.
