Hello Everyone!

We have made it to December! Record books have been com-

pleted and judged, a new set of 4-H youth are getting ready for

trips next year, and Clover College has come and gone. Now is when

we get planning for all the exciting things we can do in 2017!

We will be looking to have at least one big countywide event

each month from January through April in 2017. We are currently

working on a January snow tubing trip so look out for an email with

details by the middle of December. In February we will have our

Festival of the Arts and in March we will have our Foods Revue

(information on both inside). I am also excited to announce that we

will be having a Spring Clover College Program in 2017! We will look

to have a similar layout to our Fall Clover College but with some new

ideas and programs to keep things exciting.

These big events aren't the only thing we have planned for

the spring. We will be expanding our shooting sports program and

bringing back rocketry again. Each of these programs will have new

ideas and activities so even if you participated last year you will

have a lot of new things to do. If you have not tried either of these

out then watch for how to sign up or contact me with any questions.

There is a lot to get excited about for 2017 so rest up, enjoy

friends and family this holiday season, and sign up for all the 4-H

fun!

Preference for the following year’s trip and award selection will be given to those who meet this requirement.

After selecting your county’s top three entries, educators may submit them online until January 15, 2017 (This is the new due date). Photo entries are not returned to exhibitors and become the property of the State 4-H Office. A photo entry is a single, color or black-and-white digital image.

Festival of the Arts


February 4th 2017 Location: Whitehall High School

The Festival of the Arts (formerly Performing Arts Festival) is a great opportunity for Trempealeau County 4-H’ers to explore their artistic, communicative and dramatic skills. I would like to encourage all youth to participate. I will do my best to fulfill your time requests. If there are siblings that are both involved in the festival, I will try to make the schedule such so that they are not performing at the same time. I will also try to give enough time between each youth’s performance. This of course becomes more challenging if youth are signed up for multiple events. If you sign-up and are unable to attend or decide not to do a particular event, please contact us at the Extension Office. Be sure to fill the form out clearly with all portions completed. You can fax, mail or email in your registration forms. Only registration forms listed in the pages following will be accepted as entries! If you receive a time slot that does not work for you, please make arrangements to switch time slots with someone else, be sure to contact me if you do this.

Registration forms are due to Michelle Rose at the Extension Office by January 25th, 2017.

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.
