    ***ATTENTION ALL 4-H’ERS & PARENTS – ADD/DROP INFORMATION***

    There are several responsibilities as a 4-H member and a 4-H parent. One of these responsibilities is the Adding and Dropping of 4-H Projects. It is YOUR responsibility to add or drop any projects by May 1, 11:59 p.m. You will need to do this by going to https://ks.4honline.com and log into your account. After May 1, the system will not allow you to add or drop projects. Remember, 4-H members must be enrolled in the project area(s) they will be exhibiting at the county fair. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact either Extension Office.

    VIRTUAL OFFICE HOURS FOR SARAH AND KATE While we can be reached during regular office hours by phone and email, Kate and Sarah have set aside specific times during the week for virtual office hours. This is meant for individuals to make an appointment during the designated hours for a virtual meeting. Please do not hesitate to reach out. These hours will be posted weekly on our Facebook Page (Central Kansas District 4-H) and at https://www.centralkansas.k-state.edu/4-h/.

    OZ-SOME 4-H CAMP CONNECTION Since we cannot go to Rock Springs 4-H Ranch for 4-H Camp, we are offering the Oz-Some 4-H Camp Connection to 4-H members ages 8-13 years of age (before January 1). This camp connection will be held on June 16-18 (Tuesday - Thursday), 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. each evening. There are some aspects of camp we know are important: counselors, connecting with other campers, learning experiences, campfire, 4-H dance, etc. We are planning on a fun and interactive three evenings! Each participant will receive a camp care box in the mail, which will include a t-shirt, craft supplies, and other items needed for most all activities.

    It will be important if each camper could have their own electronic device with a webcam to be able to interact with other campers and counselors. However, if you have more than one youth in your household that will need to share a device, we will do our best to accommodate.

    The cost to the participant will be $5 and will need to be paid online after submitting the registration. Other funding is being sought out to offset the remainder of the cost. All who register are asked to submit a 4-H Council Scholarship Application (see procedure below).

    Registration will be due no later than Sunday, May 10. To register, click here, or go to our website under Upcoming Events and Online Registration for the link.

    4-H COUNCIL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS We have summer events coming up, and we are continuing to plan for them. The temporary method for handling 4-H Council Scholarship Applications is as follows:

    • Go to the District 4-H Website and complete the application which can be found under 4-H Member Forms and Documents – 4-H Council Scholarship Application.

    • 4-H Member is to contact the Organizational Leader and ask them to email Kate their “approval” which will count as their signature, THEN

    • Mail application (without Organizational Leader signature), preferably to the Salina Office (2218 Scanlan Ave, Salina, KS 67401), OR

    • Email application to Kate ([email protected])

    VIRTUAL 4-H ON FACEBOOK For fun, check out our Virtual 4-H sessions on Facebook (Central Kansas District 4-H)! Each weekday, we are providing fun activities at 1:30 p.m. If you can't watch live, the videos are available on our Facebook page at your convenience. Be sure to share these fun 4-H opportunities with friends and family!

Details were also emailed out to all enrolled 4-H Horse Families on Wednesday, May 6, from Sarah and the revised steps to qualify for the 2020 KSF 4-H Horse Show. You will need to READ THEM CAREFULLY. There is not any room for error with the timeline and guidelines below. If you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

    UPDATE ON AWARD APPLICATIONS & RECORD BOOKS During these uncertain times, we are continuing to look at the various requirements for year end awards. The Trips & Awards Committee has met and here are some things they want you to be aware of: FILL IN ALL THE BLANKS on the applications. Do not leave any

    incomplete. In general, if a required item is not met due to COVID-19, the committee will

    take each application on a case by case basis. However, the committee would encourage you to get creative and complete an appeal, if need be, in September.

    If an in-person County Fair is not able to happen, know that a Virtual 4-H Fair will. Therefore, any item on the Club Summary or Pin Application referring to County Fair will change to mean the Virtual 4-H Fair.

    Pin Application If you were scheduled to participate in the Gavel Games, Model Meetings, and

    Quiz Bowl contests on January 18 and were not able to participate due to the rescheduled date, the committee encourages you to complete the appeal process.

    Those registered to attend NELE can count it since it was cancelled due to bad weather. Those who were SCHEDULED to participate in Regional 4-H Club Day can count it. #3 – If you haven’t already had your club tour, we encourage Clubs to consider a virtual tour. If a virtual

    tour is not possible, club leaders should contact Sarah for the alternative option. #7 - If a club is unable to have a club fundraiser due to COVID-19, the club can substitute the club

    fundraiser pin requirement with a revised club budget. The revised club budget should be discussed and voted on in a regular club business meeting, detailing the change in the lack of additional funds from the cancelled fundraiser and how the budgeted items are revised to reflect the loss of income for the current year.

    #16 – Instead of requiring 2 state events, for 2019-2020 only, the requirement will be 1 state event. Record Books Revised record book items are still coming for our juniors and intermediates. The timeline changed due to

    COVID-19. Know that we will get this information out as soon as we can. Watch for an email with details.

    OLD 4-H PHOTOGRAPHS GATHERING DUST? The 4-H Photography Judging Committee needs photos still on the mount boards to use for judging contests. If you want to donate those old photos so they can help 4-H members judge photos; bring them to the Extension Office so they can be used again. Right now, they can only be accepted at the Salina Extension Office and can be left in the box between the two front doors. We ask that you remove any ribbons and front photography label at the bottom of the photo mount. The photo can still be in the clear plastic bags. The committee thanks you for your donation to help us make our photography judging teams great.

    TRI-RIVERS FAIR INFORMATION FOR ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS

    4-H BUILDING MONITORS Please read instructions carefully, as there are changes this year!

    It is hard to believe that the fair is just around the corner. So…let’s start planning early for the fair...it’s Pop Stand / Concession Stand time!!! Join the team...get involved! Please make sure your club signs up for working the Pop Stand and also to serve as Building Monitors. Clubs may sign up as many times as they want. Clubs with over 20 members are asked to work the Pop Stand at least two to three times! Any time slots not filled will result in the Pop Stand / Concession Stand being closed during that time at the fair. All clubs should also plan to sign up for at least one shift as Building Monitors, and clubs with over 20 members are encouraged to sign up for 2 shifts as Building Monitors.

    When recruiting your club members, please keep the following in mind. The Pop Stand operates smoothly with at least one adult and two or three youth. However, during the time frame of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., we would like at least two adults and four youth. We will be serving food from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. (on Wednesday through Saturday) and set up will begin at 10 a.m.

    For "guarding" the 4-H Building as Building Monitors, clubs are asked to sign up in addition to Pop Stand shifts. Wanted: at least 3 individuals for each shift.

    Organizational Leaders were sent the link on 4/13/2020 to sign up for your club's desired times. If Leaders have any questions or need the link resent, please call the Salina Extension Office at 785-309-5850 or you can email Michele at [email protected]. Thank you!

    ATTENTION 4-H FAMILIES & ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS: CENTRAL KANSAS DISTRICT POLICY The Central Kansas Extension Board adopted a policy to go alongside the Kansas 4-H Policy regarding fundraising at the February, 2014, Board Meeting. The policy is:

    “4-H members MAY NOT solicit funds to help fund their individual 4-H projects. 4-H members may fundraise for a specific 4-H EDUCATIONAL trip. Donations given directly to a 4-H member ARE NOT tax deductible because they do not go to a 4-H club or group. Any fundraising programs by clubs or individuals MUST be approved by the 4-H Youth Development Agent; the funds must be used to further the 4-H mission; the account procedures must be appropriate and in accordance with the POLICY; and the 4-H name and emblem must be properly used.” Any fundraising done in the name of 4-H needs to be approved by Sarah.

  • Summer is Fast Approaching

    Dear 4-H Families,

    While these are unprecedented times, it allows us to reflect. We are encouraged to look at things differently. While the summer will soon be upon us and the 4-H year has seemed to go by quickly, we know our opportunities this summer have been changing. Despite us not being able to meet in-person, this summer is still jam packed full of opportunities for 4-H members. Be sure to take ad-vantage of the fun things going on.

    County fair information will be coming out via email and mail. Be sure to stay on top of the pre-entry deadlines, read through the fair paper to make sure you know the rules and requirements, and don’t forget to have fun during this learning process! If you have questions, please be sure to ask the organizational leaders and/or call or email the Extension Office. We are here to help!

    Have a great May!

    Sarah
