Youth Enrollment
4-H is for youth and 4-H is fun! Through 4-H and
the opportunities it provides, 4-H members have
the ability to participate in many events and
activities, as well as apply for scholarships, travel
the country, and meet new friends.
It doesn’t matter where you live; 4-H has an
opportunity for you! Do you like to take pictures
– then photography is for you! Do you like to
learn about the environment and how to save the
resources of our world – then the natural
resources project is made for you! Regardless of
your interest, 4-H provides more than fifty
different projects that youth of our state want to
be part of!
The Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program
offers many opportunities for both youth and
adults to experience 4-H at the local, county,
district, state, national, and international level!
Atascosa 4-H has excelled in many projects at all
levels. Some of our most popular are Clothing and
Textiles, Consumer Education, Food and
Nutrition, Photography, Shooting Sports, Beef,
Goat, Horse, Poultry, Rabbit, Sheep and Swine.
We also have wonderful opportunities in Personal
Development and Leadership. Members will have
the chance to attend our County Club Officer
Training Workshop, District Leadership Lab, and
State 4-H Congress in the summer. They may
even get to attend National 4-H Congress.
Successful fundraising has given Atascosa 4-H the
ability to assist with a portion of the fees
associated with most contests. Individual clubs
may also have funds available. Please check with
your club manager(s). Additionally, the Atascosa
4-H Merit Scholarship has been set up to provide
assistance to high school senior members who
have excelled in their 4-H careers.
On September 25th, 2013, eighteen 4-H members met with the Honorable Judge
Diana Bautista for the signings of the National Food Safety Education Month
Proclamation, which occurs during the month of September, and the National 4H Week Proclamation. National 4-H Week lasts from October 6th to the 12th.
During the week, 4H members wear t-shirts, make posters at their schools, and
do community service on “One Day 4-H” day in order to promote more kids to
enroll and participate in local 4H clubs. Judge Bautista discussed with the 4Hers about the importance of Food Safety Awareness, how the courtroom works,
and gave each member the opportunity to sit in the judge’s chair.

Protein Category - All foods made from meat,
poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy
products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the
Protein Foods Group. Beans and peas are also part of
the Vegetable Group.
Fruit & Vegetable Category– Any fruit or 100%
fruit juice counts as part of the Fruit Group. Fruits
may be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and may be
whole, cut-up, or pureed. Any vegetable or 100%
vegetable juice counts as a member of the Vegetable
Group. Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh,
frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be
whole, cut-up, or mashed. Vegetables are organized
into 5 subgroups, based on their nutrient content.
Grains Category - Any food made from wheat, rice,
oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a
grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast
cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain
products. Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, Whole
Grains and Refined Grains. Whole grains contain the
entire grain kernel ― the bran, germ, and endosperm.
Dairy - All fluid milk products and many foods made
from milk are considered part of this food group. Most
Dairy Group choices should be fat-free or low-fat.
Foods made from milk that retain their calcium
content are part of the group. Foods made from milk
that have little to no calcium, such as cream cheese,
cream, and butter, are not. Calcium-fortified soymilk
(soy beverage) is also part of the Dairy Group.

Monday, October 21, 2013 at the Jourdanton United
Methodist Church from 7:00-8:30pm. The Food Forum is a
fun and educational program consisting of 4-H members
presenting different topics on food including healthy choices
and safety. We are asking for a $1 donation per child to help
with the drink expenses. We are asking that if anyone would
like to bring baked goods to be served for snacks please do.
We will be donating some of the goods to the sheriff’s office,
emergency response, and etc. We are also going to be
collecting cans (preferably #10 size) for the Mainstreet
Outreach Program. They put on a yearly Thanksgiving Dinner
to those less fortunate. They are asking for these can items:
green beans, cranberry sauce, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie
