Volunteers are the backbone of the Missouri 4-H program, and their service is recognized by the Missouri 4-H Foundation with several state awards. The Frank Graham Leadership Award includes a quality educational experience, as well as public recognition for a job not only well done, but also extremely appreciated.

Annually, each county may honor one or two outstanding 4-H volunteers. Counties with 100 or more volunteers may select two outstanding 4-H volunteers each year. This will be based on the application form. Each county may determine how the volunteer is selected.

County winners are honored at the Volunteer Recognition Banquet, held annually at the end of March in Columbia. The Missouri 4-H Foundation will send invitations to award recipients, who will receive a certificate and Frank Graham Leadership pin.

Deadline: • Applications due to the Missouri 4-H Foundation Office by February 1.

Through Clover Kids clubs, children learn how to get along, share and work in groups, explore their interests and build self-confidence. Each Clover Kids Corner provides an activity, information or other materials that Clover Kids leaders can use in planning and implementing experiences that introduce 5- to 7-year-olds to the 4-H concept of learning by doing.

Create a Motion Ocean

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Water is denser than oil. Plus, the two liquids never mix. So when the water moves, it pushes the oil around, making shapes like waves.

YOU WILL NEED

Clear jar with lid

Water

Blue food coloring

Glitter

Baby oil

Plastic floating toys 1. Fill the jar halfway with water. 2. Add drops of food coloring until you like the color you see. Shake in a little glitter. 3. Pour in baby oil until the jar is three-quarters full. 4. Place a floating toy on top of the oil, then screw on the lid tightly. 5. Shake the jar gently to set your ocean in motion.

Grow Rural America One Community At A Time 

America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to support local farming communities. The program, which launched in 2010, allows farmers to enter to win $2,500 for their favorite community nonprofit organization, such as 4-H, FFA, schools, fire departments and other civic groups. One winner will be selected in each of the 1,289 eligible counties in 39 states.

Rural communities are the heart of America. It’s where we find the people who work hard to feed, fuel and clothe our country and the world. We believe in rural America, and we want to help grow farming communities. This is why we work directly with the farmers to determine where the $2,500 is donated within their community. Farmers know best and choose the nonprofit organization in their community where the donation will make the most impact.

People in eligible counties have the opportunity to suggest an idea or initiative for a farmer to consider in his/her America’s Farmers Grow Communities entry. Plant Your Idea here. You will need the name of your nonprofit organization and a brief description of the project.

Start growing your community today! Enroll here and submit ideas here by November 30, 2013.

Daviess County previous winners: Clint and Marcia Bird, Tonya Reed, Greg Macy, and John Sullenger.

Gentry County previous winners: Daniel Luke, Larry Rasmussen, Nancy Stevens, and David Cottrill.

Interest getter (15-20 minutes) Ideas include identification quizzes, judging contests, relay skill games, films or slides, a tour of the host member’s project and guest speakers. Skill session (30-50 minutes) The majority of time spent in most meetings should be spent doing — practicing a job or skill. Be sure to include the elements of experience, sharing, processing, generalizing and applying in your session. Discussion (15-20 minutes) Use this time for questions and answers, coming events, comments on presentations given and assigned, and members’ reports on project problems. Demonstration (10 minutes) Ask one member to give a demonstration at each meeting. This gives 4-H'ers a chance to develop and practice demonstrations that will be given at 4-H club meetings and Achievement Day. Record keeping (10-15 minutes) Allow time for members to work on calendars and 4-H Project Record, Y620. Summary and assignments (10-20 minutes) Have members summarize the day’s meeting.

After the balloon has been kicked around the circle, ask participants to take a giant step back and kick the balloon around again (hands may need to be dropped). Keep playing until there is no more space! Encourage youth to try kicking with the other leg in the opposite direction or pass the balloon by bouncing it off their heads.

2014 Missouri 4-H Equine Tour Westward Bound!

Are you dreaming of combining your equine passion with a future career, interested in

learning more about the horse industry, and enjoy making new 4-H friends who share your love of horses? The University of Missouri Extension 4-H Annual Equine Tour may be just for you! The 2014 tour, May 20-26, will be exploring the horse industry in Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado and is open to Missouri 4-H teens, ages 14-18. Tours will include collegiate equine education departments, working cattle and horse ranches, and a possible Colorado trail ride. Participants will learn from leading equine professionals in the fields of equine therapy, entertainment, outfitters, training, art, rodeo, saddle making, and equine welfare. In its eighth year, the tour has proven to be a great opportunity for participants to expand and clarify their possible equine related career paths.

“When I was fourteen years old, I was offered the opportunity to travel the United States with the Missouri 4-H Equine Tour. As a business and horse lover, this tour was perfect for me. Throughout my four years participating in the tours, I traveled all across the states of Missouri, Kentucky, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, and Oklahoma, visiting and learning about a

variety of operations in the equine industry. From breeding farms to show barns, the Rodeo Hall of Fame to the Cheyenne Frontier Days, to the beautiful rocks in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, the opportunities to expand my knowledge and create networking connections for future business endeavors were endless. This just may have been one of the best decisions of my life. I am currently a Business Administration (concentration in management) and Equine General Studies (concentration in equine assisted therapies) double major, with Equine Science and Equine Administration minors. I have determined that my future career be in the field of Therapeutic Horsemanship; owning and operating my personal barn to provide assistance to those with special needs, mental disorders, or disabilities.

What you are doing for the kids in the 4-H program is astounding! Please continue providing these amazing opportunities to our youth...I know these tours were some of the best times of my life.” Ashley Bauer, 2013 Missouri State Fair Queen

The $600 tour fee provides charter bus transportation, 4-H staff chaperones, and all travel related expenses. Applications are available at http://mo4h.missouri.edu/events/horse/ and are due before March 1, 2014. For additional information, contact Debbie Davis, 816-539-3765, davisdd@missouri.edu.
