Hello 4-H Families!

We have a lot packed in to our April Clover Dispatch! Here are

some things that are not to be missed:

-If you have a Cloverbud (K-2nd grade) in your family there is a

great program called ‘Little Miss and Little Mister 4-H’ that in-

cludes several days of fun events including a program at the fair.

The great thing is that this is designed for Cloverbuds by Clover-

buds! For more information check out our website here: http://

trempealeau.uwex.edu/4hyd/4-h-projects/little-misslittle-mister-

4-h-clover-contest/ or contact Heather Smock at

[email protected].

-Camp Kinnissippewa is still taking applications. This program is an

overnight camp for 3rd-8th grade youth. More information can be

found here: http://trempealeau.uwex.edu/4-h-programs/camp-

kinnissippewa/. There were issues with 4H Online earlier which

meant that many of you could not find it as an option for event

registration. This issue has been resolved so sign up today! If for

any reason you are having issues signing up for Camp K please email

me and we will handle it!

-There is also still time to sign up for our Pinewood Derby event

Club Minutes

Meeting was called to order on March 6th, 2017 by Alexi.

New members were welcome; Olivia White, Gunnar Johnson

Thank you for Lyn Rolbiecki for the Foods Review Presentation last month

Congratulations to the Foods Review Participants; Brianne, Hailey, Amy, Maggie, Mary, Sam, Brooke,

and Claire.

We recapped the Bruce Mound Tubing trip along with the Club FUN Day. Lyn and all the participants

went through the food review. March Club Fun Day will be held on the 26th at Shenanigans.

We discussed the Fair Barn Decorations and theme for this year. We also discussed lawn mowing

for this summer and what we are going to do with the mower. Reminder on the 4th Annual “Racing For

A Reason” Pinewood Derby Race will be held on April 23rd. Following we went through and discussed

the 2017 Little Miss/Mister Clover. Brianne discussed her experience.

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day everyone was encouraged to wear as many green items as possible.

Green was everywhere. The winner had on 42 different items. We also completed 5 tie blankets

for our community project which will go to High School and Middle School students that are in need

at G-E-T. We have plenty more to do but they still need preparation.

Thank you. Annaleece Anibas

On Saturday, April 1st, it was the 27th Annual Monroe County 4-H Fur, Fin, and Feather Show. Cover bud / Ex-

plorers have their own entries. Youth members can show poultry, eggs, cats, rabbits, and showmanship in each.

For cats I took Butterfly, an adult calico, and Princess Turk a kitten tabby. Butterfly got really upset making it

hard to show her. She placed 2nd out of about 6 adults. Princess Turk was much better. She let the judge handle

her and let me show the judge how to pick her up and to check her ears and mouth. The judge checks for

trimmed nails, clean ears and overall body condition. Princess Turk placed 1st out of 3 kittens and then took best

of show! For best of show your points for showmanship and your overall cat care are added together!

I also show my rabbits. One of my senior Californian does, I showed 2, placed 1st in her category. All the first

place Califorian does in each age group then went against each other. My doe took Best of Breed! So then at the

end of the day all the best of show does go back in front of 2 judges. There were 25 or so breeds there. My doe

beat all the others to take Best of show! It was a very fun day!

Club Minutes

Lincoln Pioneers Meeting March 12, 2017 4 p.m. Fire Station The meeting was called to order at 4:05 p.m. by Treasurer, Alicia Schmitt, in the absence of president, vice president and secretary. Pledges were led by Catherine and Sophia Kampa. Kim forgot to print off the sec-retary report and couldn’t access them. We will begin to email the reports out to all and approve at meet-ings. Treasury Report was read by Alicia for both January and February. Motion to approve both month’s reports by Morgan, seconded by Catherine, all approve, accepted. Attendance was taken by saying what was good or new. We recognized several birthdays and sang to all. Old Business Butter Braid wrap up- we sold 400 Butter Braids for a total profit of $2000. The top two selling families were each given $20 gift certificates to Troy’s Gas and Grub. They were Vanessa Adank, selling 56 items and Morgan and Mason Przybylla, selling 49 items. Coming in a close were the Jasin family selling 48 and Kurth’s selling 47! General comments about the fundraiser were positive; it’s an easy product to sell and there weren’t any other groups in our area selling. We’ll be sending a letter to the Olson family, thanking them for handling the bait sales at the Independence Ice Fishing contest. The group was paid for their work. Tubing at Bruce Mound on Feb 16 was a hit! We will send a thank you card to the Leaders Board thanking them for the fun night. Final Animal Shelter day will be April 22 (Kim will email a reminder as the time nears). Members were reminded of MAQA and educational events which are coming up- be on the lookout. April 1 is the deadline for membership and project sign up on 4HOnline. All members were remind-ed to do a demonstration.

Bird house sales will begin soon. Kim will bring fliers to the April meeting for members to hang up in public places. No individual efforts will be needed from members/families. A reminder that May 20 at Pietrek Park, will be a county wide Spring Clover College type event. Watch the newsletter for sign up and info. Club will pay for this. Camp K. sign up is now open for 3 grade and up including counselors. See newsletter, requesting funding through the Lead-er’s board is encouraged to reduce financial obligations to the family.

We will be asking for a food shift stand time. This is also the same day as the Dairy break-fast, after discussion, it was decided that we will ask the older members to cover the food stand in Inde-pendence and younger members/families can cover the dairy breakfast shift. Kim will contact Kay W. to request a clean-up shift as this worked really well for our young group last year. We reminded everyone that each family will need to cover a shift at the fair food stand, city event food stand or fair building supervi-sion. This was decided on early in the 4-H year. Our meeting flags are in poor condition. A motion to purchase a new set of flags by Morgan, seconded by Catherine, all in favor, motion carried. Kim will take care of this. Our next meeting will take place on April 9 at 4 p.m., there will be a likely arts and craft event prior at ap-prox. 2 p.m. Location is yet to be determined.

There is a new requirement for any youth who was selected for one of the trips listed below to spend at least two total hours working in the food stand sometime during the Trempealeau County Fair.

This can be during your normally scheduled club shift or some other time. Information will be sent out in the summer to choose the dates and times you will be working.

Leader’s Board Funding Request Process:

We are publishing the funding request information and form. With new people always coming into the 4

-H program, we want everyone aware of the process to request funds for 4-H camps, trips, and educa-

tional activities. This information can also be found on the Trempealeau County website. Please read

through at your convenience. Instructions-Funding Request Form

The Trempealeau County 4-H Leaders Executive Board includes money in their budget to help defray

some costs of 4-H educational trips or activities in which Trempealeau County 4-H members and lead-

ers participate. The amount the Association is able to contribute in a given year depends on the success

of fund raising efforts, the amounts spent in other budget areas, and the number of applicants and lev-

el of requests.

A “Funding Request Form” has been developed for use when an individual or group is requesting mone-

tary support. Only 4-H Sponsored Events will be considered for reimbursement. Use of the form will

provide a consistent, concise approach for obtaining information. Once the Committee engages in dis-

cussion relative to the request, the requestor may be asked to leave the meeting and will be notified by

phone or mail of the Committee’s decision.

The 4-H Leaders Executive Board will evaluate the request and the applicant is asked to follow the

guidelines listed below. Currently, the Leaders Executive Board meets every month except December.

The form should be completed and turned in to the Extension office prior to the Executive Board

meeting and prior to participation in the trip or activity.

Please answer all questions completely so your request receives full attention. Individuals that receive

over $100.00 for a single event are expected to make a live presentation/action center or visual display

at one or more of the following events: Performing Arts Festival, Clover College, County Fair and/or

Summer Picnic. We would like individuals who receive funding for State Teams or major award trips to

help encourage participation in these activities. Participants may be asked to present information about

their experience following the trip or activity. The cost of events not specifically sponsored or co-

sponsored by 4-H or the Trempealeau County 4-H Leaders Executive Board will not be reimbursed. A

general club leader's signature is required before sending in the request form to the extension office.

If you should have questions about the form or the dates of the Executive Board meetings, please call

the Extension office at 715-538-2311 x210.

$30.00 and under ~ Completed “Funding Request Form” sent to the UW-Extension office 7 days pri-

or to Executive Board Meeting and optional in person request at the monthly Leaders Executive

Board Meeting.
