With tears in our eyes, we wish Ginny Bichler an amazing retirement and thank her for being a part of our world. Ginny has made our office such a welcoming environment. She greets everyone who enters our doors with a friendly smile and warm heart. Ginny is a great listener and people frequently enjoy sharing their personal stories with her. She is also incredibly organized and has done a fabulous job supporting the clubs, projects, and all 300+ of our volunteers. Ginny will be greatly missed and we hope that she will enjoy the time with her family, catching up on projects around her home, traveling, and relaxing at the lake.

Congratulations to Cindy Sarkady on her one year anniversary as University of Wisconsin-Extension, Area Extension Director for Fond du Lac, Ozaukee, Sheboygan, and Washington counties. Cindy Sarkady, along with 22 additional area directors, started in this new position on July 1, 2017. In the past, there were regional directors and educators in each of the 72 counties that had a partial appointment of Department Heads. Area Extension Directors’ role includes administrative leadership of the

county Extension offices in their areas, working with county boards, budgets, and staffing and program prioritization of the counties within their region. Sarkady worked in Illinois in a similar model.

Sarkady has held the position of 4-H Youth Development Educator in Michigan, Illinois and recently Waukesha County. She was a 4-H volunteer for 12 years while living in Michigan and both of her children grew up through the 4-H program. "My children, now adults, would tell you that 4-H helped them be who they are today", states Sarkady. In addition, to working within the Extension program in the mid-west she held an administrative role at a large community college for ten years in Illinois.

Cindy will continue to lead our area as UW Extension moves under the UW Madison structure starting July 2018. The alignment offers a strong brand to the University as well as access to the college’s educational resources. UW Madison sees the value of having Extension in the 72 counties as a way to reach out even more to help the citizens, businesses, and the communities in the state of Wisconsin. The commitment to local needs and education is still the driving mission of the UW Extension system.

CONGRATULATIONS!

RETIREMENT

4-H PLEDGE I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger

service, and my HEALTH to better living, for my CLUB, my COMMUNITY, my COUNTRY,

and my WORLD.

activity volunteers in Washington County clubs who may not get recognized at the county level. If your club has an outstanding

volunteer award that you would like to publicize beyond your club, please send us information about your top-notch volunteers so

that we can tell their story in the fall Cloverline. Please send a paragraph about club volunteers worthy of recognition to

amy.manganfischer@ces.uwex.edu by August 1 to be included in the September-October Cloverline.

RECOGNIZE OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEERS AT THE CLUB LEVEL

Hello, my name is Bridget Dean from the Wayne Crusaders 4-H club, and I had the opportunity to attend the 2018 National 4-H

Conference. This conference, which is six days in length, gives youth from around the US and Canada the chance to grow in their

leadership skills, create connections with government officials, and work in groups to promote 4-H values, civic engagement, and

youth involvement.

Wisconsin had ten delegates and two adult advisors attend. Each delegate was assigned a round table topic, and mine was health.

The topic of health focused on teenager health, what we need to know, what we want to know, and where we find it. My prepara-

tion homework was to read through the websites Health.gov, MyPlate, and NIFA. Other pre-conference work included meeting

with adult chaperones, state staff, and other delegates via Google Hangout.

At National 4-H Conference, delegates worked in roundtable groups for several hour periods of time to prepare a presentation for

the government department matching their topic. The Health round table presented to NIFA (National Institution of Food and Ag-

riculture). Delegates participated in group activities and workshops, and listened to guest speakers. We also met with and were

able to speak to state representatives and senators. I personally met with Senator Baldwin, Representative Gallagher and an assis-

tant of Representative Sensenbrenner.

This travel experience was one of the best weeks in my life! There were so many things to learn, people to meet, and ideas to

share. Thank you to the county and my club for financially supporting me. I highly recommend applying for this opportunity, and if

any club is interested in hearing me present on the experience you can contact me at knitterb7@gmail.com.

LOOKING FOR A NEW WAY TO VOLUNTEER?

about finances, programming, and member recognition. If

you are passionate about the future of 4-H, please consider

running for this crucial board!

Enrolled adult volunteers and youth in grades 7 and older can

run for the board. We encourage clubs to submit

nominations for the board by September 15, 2018. Elections

will take place at the November 10th board meeting (which

takes place at the beginning of the Achievement and

Recognition Program). For more information about board

member duties and nomination forms, visit the Trips &

SUMMER CAMP

THANK YOU to the 4-H volunteers for making the 2018 Breakfast on the Farm a great success! The breakfast had over 380 helpers

other areas. Special thanks go out to: all the archery leaders and youth for the great job. Barbara Kluever and Agnes Wagner, 4-H

volunteer leaders, thanks for serving on the committee and working with volunteers and kitchen area. A special thanks to all the

volunteers who stayed longer or work all morning and cleaned up– great job!

BREAKFAST ON THE FARM

Zombie Survival Day Camp was a huge success! We filled to capacity of 50 campers again. Thanks to everyone who attended and

helped promote camp.

Campers had lots of fun and thoroughly enjoyed the activities while learning valuable life skills like communication, teamwork, the

importance of making a plan, first aid, items to have in an emergency kit, and more.

Camp would not have been a success without the help of the following youth and adult volunteers.

Thank you to the following clubs who donated money towards the community service project to benefit Family Promise of Wash-

ington County. With these donations we were able to assemble 84 meal kits which will provide a meal every day of the week for

two families of four during the six weeks a year Family Promise doesn’t have churches to host these families. The campers did an

awesome job assembling and making activity place mats to go with the meal kits. Family Promise said the first meal kits will be

used right away the week of 4th of July! Because of these clubs generosity we were also able to also purchase much needed items

for Family Promise including toilet paper, paper toweling, and garbage bags.

Even after years and years of completing a 4-H Record

sure that you have fully told your story of what you

learned in 4-H. The 4-H Achievement & Recognition Com-

mittee has developed a “Record Book Refresher” checklist

RECORD BOOK PROJECT AWARDS

Even if you have been doing 4-H Record Books for many years, it is helpful to refresh your memory! Use this check-list to make sure that your record book is complete and ready for review:

Did you thoroughly describe your project experiences?

Did you revisit the Record Book Guidelines?

Did you use the most up-to-date project sheet? (Check the date on the bottom of your record book sheet. Does it match with the date listed on the Rec-ord Book Guidelines document? If it does not, then you are using an outdated sheet.)

Did you complete all parts of the record book sheet?

Did you write captions by your photos?

Did you use the Project Award Score Sheet to check your own work?

County Fair—continued

COUNTY FAIR AND 4-H WEB PAGE

The County Fair page on the UW-Extension website is a one-stop shop for all things related to County Fair and 4-H. This is a

central spot for information about the 4-H experience at County Fair and especially helpful for easy access to many links for

online sign-ups related to 4-H roles at fair (Ziegler building volunteer roles, action and promotion center, youth fair assis-

tants, club booths judging time selection).

There is a collapsible table of contents so you can see at a glance all the content included on the page. Just click on the topic

you are looking for and it will expand that section.

Information will often link you to the Washington County Fair website which includes details for all exhibitors (not just 4-H)

and fair goers. http://www.wcfairpark.com/fair/

There are still many spots open, especially on Saturday and Sunday which is a prime time as many fairgoers will be by the Action and Promotion Center on the weekend so want to have those shifts covered! This is an opportunity to engage community members attending the fair in a hands-on activity and promote 4-H. Each club is encouraged to organize a small group, 2-4 members (any age) and 1-2 adults, to cover one shift. There are 20 shifts. Shifts are two hours in length and available Tuesday, July 24 -Sunday, July 29. Action is the key to the success of the "4-H Action and Promotion Center." Clubs can create and provide their own activity or

indicate when signing up that they’d like the County Ambassadors to provide one for them. The activity should be hands-on

and attract fair goers to the booth. The activity could be a science experiment, a matching game in which they learn about

the body parts of an animal (or any other topic), art based, learning how to identify plants, animal interaction, etc. This is an

opportunity to ask the youth running the booth what they’ve learned in their projects this past year and how they could

teach others and share a favorite activity. 4-H promotional materials will be provided.

Top 5 Reasons to Volunteer at the Action and Promotion Booth at Fair 1. It is an easy way to get adult volunteer hours for an adult volunteer season pass

2. It is a fun group or family activity

3. It is a good chance to interact with fair goers

4. You get to share your passion about 4-H and projects you are involved in

5. Opportunity to strengthen communication and social skills

SILENT AUCTION

Each year at County Fair the Washington County 4-H Leaders Association holds a silent auction to

raise funds for 4-H members and leaders to help finance educational training, trips, camps and

other various activities. This is the second largest fundraiser for Washington County’s 4-H program.

Last year, we were able to raise over $6,000 and this year we hope to raise even more!

GENERAL DONATIONS

The 2018 Washington County Fair will be held Tuesday, July 24- Sunday, July 29, with the closing

auction bids accepted through 11 am on Sunday, July 29. To help in fundraising for Washington

County 4-H, we are requesting suitable donations for our silent auction table. These include items

purchased as donations, items that are made, and/or monetary donations that the committee can

use to purchase items.

DONATIONS FROM 4-H YOUTH AND 4-H CLUBS

Youth are encouraged to donate fair entries from previous years to the silent auction. Have you

made some high-quality projects that someone may enjoy? Drop them off at the UW-Extension

Office and they will be included in the silent auction! You could also make a duplicate of a fair

project that you plan to enter this year and donate the extra item to the silent auction. Fairgoers

who bid on these items can have the special privilege of owning a handcrafted item made by a 4-H

youth who learned new skills as they worked on that project.

4-H Clubs are also encouraged to make either a monetary donation to the silent auction fund, or

donate items for the silent auction itself. Themed gift baskets are popular ideas. This is a great

opportunity for youth to learn about shopping on a budget.

SILENT AUCTION VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Tasks include organizing winning bid sheets at auction close, making phone calls to winners at the

close of the auction, collecting payments at the end of the auction, helping transport leftover

auction items to the PAC after the auction, and collecting payments at the PAC the Monday after

fair. If you are interested in helping, sign up here: www.SignUpGenius.com/

County Fair—continued

In order to manage some of the confusion at exhibit release time and to help protect exhibits from being misplaced, the following check-

out procedures will be used.

All Junior department exhibits in the Ziegler building will be released on Sunday, July 29, 2018 ONLY from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Exhibi-

tors may not take home their exhibits before this time.

The Ziegler Family Expo Center building will be cleared of people and the doors closed 6:00 pm. This will allow time for the superinten-

dents to organize their departments for exhibit release. At 7:00 pm, the doors will be reopened for exhibit release.

Exhibitors ready to check out their exhibits may begin lining up outside the northeast doors of the Ziegler building.

At 7:00 pm, small groups of 20-25 individuals will be allowed to enter the northeast doors. A group will be admitted every 5-10

minutes or as the building/volunteers can accommodate more exhibitors at check-out.

Exhibitors must have their green exhibitor envelope (what your entry tags/exhibitor tickets came in) in order to pick up exhibits. If

you have lost your exhibitor envelope, you must stop at the table near the Northeast doors of the Ziegler building to have a new en-

velope issued.

If you are not able to be present for exhibit release, you may send someone else to pick up your items. That person must have your

green exhibitor envelope in order to retrieve your items.

Go to the department where your exhibit is displayed. Show your envelope to the Superintendent or volunteer. She or he will help

you find your exhibits.

If your exhibit has been selected for State Fair, it will have been moved to a central holding area for transportation to State Fair. You

will not need to check out your exhibit if it is going to State Fair. You will be contacted about completing State Fair entry paperwork

prior to the conclusion of the county fair.

When you have collected all of your exhibits, you must go to the southwest doors (the main entrance) or the southeast doors (just

south of where you entered) of the Ziegler building. The volunteers there will check all of your articles against your green envelope

and exhibit tags.

You must exit the Ziegler building through the southwest doors or southeast doors only. You MUST have your articles checked be-

fore exiting.

We hope that by following these steps, the release of fair exhibits will go smoothly.

WASHINGTON COUNTY FAIR EXHIBIT

PROCESS.

PARENTING FROM THE SIDELINES

Food for Thought

18

The following article is taken from Parenthetical.wisc.edu. It’s a great reminder of how we can best support youth in

their 4-H activities.

Parenting from the Sidelines by Becky Mather

January 22, 2018

Have you ever been to a sporting event or performance where the parent behind you is shouting out instructions to his teen or berating the other youngsters participating? As the competition increases in middle school and high school so, it seems, does the obnoxious parent behavior. Our culture appears not only to accept parental over-involvement in their kids’ activities but also to glorify it. Look no further than the Lifetime Series “Dance Moms” or the “professionalism” of children’s sports. For instance, about ten years ago I had a conversation with a first grade soccer coach. He shared how, at the parent information meeting, he casually asked how many parents thought their child might obtain a soccer scholarship for college. He told me that half of the parents in the room raised their hands. The coach was astonished. Not only it was impossible for that many kids in a single age group from a one community to have that level of talent, but even if they did, that many soccer scholar-ships did not exist. These may seem like extremes and they are. But even more restrained parents can find themselves going overboard. I should know. I have done it once or twice myself. Parents get over involved and even lose perspective for many rea-sons…

Parents want to be supportive.

Parents want their kids to be the best that they can.

Parents enjoy the recognition that their child’s accomplishments bring.

Parents want their children to have the opportunities success might provide.

Parents sometimes try to relive their own unfulfilled dreams through their children. So what can parents do to be supportive of their kids’ activities while not overdoing it? Show in words and with your actions that you value your child over a sports scholarship, varsity placement or calling it before the ref. Remember to focus on your child’s needs and life balance.

In words: Professional coaching and motivational speakers Bruce Brown and Rob Miller asked numerous college ath-letes what their parents said after a game that made them feel the most successful and experience the most enjoy-ment. Most rewarding for these college athletes was having their parents simply say, “I love to watch you play.” With actions: A cartoon taught me this lesson when my children were very young. In the first frame a young boy asks his mom to play circus with him. “I’ll be the ringmaster, the animal trainer and the elephant,” he says to his moth-er. “Then what should I do?” she responds in the next frame. “You be the nice lady who claps and throws peanuts,“ he answers. That’s when I realized that I had just run across one of the most important tasks of being a parent. Whether my teen was singing in the choir, playing a sport, or passing a driving test, my job was to stay on the sidelines and clap at the appropriate moments. Clapping from the sidelines or telling your teen you love to watch him or her play doesn’t mean that you make a big deal about a mediocre performance. Instead, it is an indication that you take joy in something that gives your child a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Now excuse me while I head to the grocery store. My son is coming home from camp tomorrow and, depending on how things went, I may have to throw peanuts.

SUMMER CAMP DATES 2019

Mark your calendars for 4-H Summer Camp 2019: Tuesday, June 18 through Saturday, June 22, 2019

4-H OPEN HOUSE

Most times families join 4-H because someone they know told them about it! Help spread the word to friends, neighbors,

classmates, and more about the 4-H Open Houses. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to find out what 4-H is

all about and get signed up. Use the Open House flyer, included in the Cloverline and posted on the Events page, to get the word

out.

Once again we’ll have the main and larger Open House at Washington County Fair Park. There will be a second, smaller Open

House at the United Way Resource Center in Hartford. We expect that all clubs be present for at least one Open House,

whichever they feel is most appropriate for their club. Of course clubs are welcome to be present at both. A majority of the

countywide projects will be present at the larger Open House, but can attend both. Contact your club’s General Leader or

Countywide Project leader if you are interested in representing either at one of the Open Houses.

Wednesday, August 15, Washington County Fair Park, 5:00-7:00 pm

Monday, August 27, United Way Hartford Resource Center, 6:00-8:00 pm (Mini Open House)
