This is just a reminder that the
information brochure for the Clover Classic is now up on the
front page of the 4-H Web Site. If you or your friends would
like to spend a day having fun while supporting 4-H, please
join us for the tournament. You may sign up as individuals or
teams. You can also help out by signing up sponsors, or by
sending in prizes that represent your local community or 4-H
program. If you want more details, either check the web site,
or give me a call.
We've designated this fall's 4-H Day as an
official alumni function for all those who signed up and paid
their dues to be part of the 4-H Alumni Association. September
3rd's game against Montana State will include a tailgate party,
T-shirt and game admission for those alumni who sign up. If you
have alumni who would like to sign up, just have them use the
sign up form that is on the 4-H web site, and mark the form
“Alumni” so we know to seat them with the other
alumni. If they are not currently dues-paying members, we'll
invite them to join, but they can still attend this event and
sit with other alumni.
This year's 4-H Ambassador Program is off
to a good start. We held our annual 4-H Ambassador Retreat at
the Bockelman's ranch near Slapout last weekend. Over 25 youth
and adult advisors gathered for the weekend to hear
inspirational remarks from Representative Ryan McMullen, Former
Miss Oklahoma Elizabeth Kinney, and others. As a result of
their retreat the ambassadors have established goals in three
areas that are important to the Oklahoma 4-H Program: Making
4-H more visible across the State of Oklahoma; maintain
relations with 4-H alumni and supporters; and help 4-H members
tell the state and national 4-H story. This year's ambassadors
will be in touch with district and county officers to find ways
to carry out these goals. When they contact you, please welcome
them to participate in programs in your area.
No. 13—Literature Order Form—July 1-December 31, 2005, was sent to
counties and districts through pouch mail (2 copies ea). Leader and Office Supplies, page 1, was missing. A few price changes on the order
form are effective July 1, 2005. The current order form lists
websites, and more curricula will continue to be added. Since
the font is small, to conserve paper on the form, counties can
enlarge if needed for better readability.
No. 702—Horticultural Crop Judging
Manual (no cost) replaces the
Horticultural Exhibit Manual. The crops from the manual are in
color on 4-H website “horticulture link.”
Nos. 746-747—Oklahoma Aqua Times
Tabloid (very limited supply)
and Leader Guide (no charge) is now in the review process to be
added to the 4-H website.
Nos. 196-198—Visual Art 1,2, Leader
Guide (.25 ea.) can be used
for the county and state fairs, as several items, such as
leather craft and needlecraft, are in these manuals.

Wildflower, Wildlife Food Cover Cards are shelved items but also can be printed from 4-H Literature Online, opening “Fisheries.” In April, there was

age groups instead of three. Cards either way may be used in
the 2005 county and state fairs.
