April is National Volunteer
Month. I just want to take
the time to say thank you to
all of the volunteers that
help out with the 4-H program (leaders, youth volunteers, shooting sports, livestock, camp, advisory council). We couldn’t have the
successful program we do
without all of your tireless
efforts and dedication to
the youth.
I will drop off a May newsletter.
Watch the paper for summer
camps and events to participate
in. Enjoy your summer!

The LSU Agricultural Center is a statewide campus and provides equal opportunities in programs and employment.
4-H University
Lost Camp
If you are at least 13 years of age or older, now
is the time to start thinking about going to 4-H
University. It will be held the June 21-24, 2016.
It is a great opportunity to enter a contest.
There are many to choose from and you may win a
trip. There is also Clover College. We are on the
LSU campus so it’s a great way to see the college.
Lots of fun to be had. Think about going. I would
like to know by the end of April. Information will
be given out in April club meetings.
Hey Shooting Sports participants, if you are
interested in being an Ambassador for the
shooting sports program next year, you have
to go to 4-H University and interview for
the spot. This is new. Normally you have
to just fill out a paper. This is a great opportunity to see what happens at 4-H U.
You can either do Clover College or you may
choose one of the many contests.
Hey 4th-6th graders! Now is the time
to start Setting your sights on 4-H
Camp. Our week to camp this year
is June 27-July 1, 2016. Deadline
to turn in the deposit of $75 is due
April 18th. The rest of the money will
be due on May 16th. There are some
new tracks this year.
Should be a lot of fun!!
Lost Camp is summer camp for 7th-8th grade
4-H members. It is going to cost $150. It is
only 3 days this year starting July 31-Aug.3.
Information will be sent to your home. You
can pick two different tracks. Other costs
will be a t-shirt, $10 for camp store and a
group photo for the total cost of $175. You
can also apply for a scholarship ($60) to help
with the cost of going to camp.
This year’s Key Club winner is Tiona Harris. She has been involved
with 4-H for the past 7 years and
has been extremely active in the
program. She is currently president of Jr. Leaders, is serving on
the Regional Leadership Board, has
attended 4-H University, Co-op
Conference, and has held various
officer roles in her school’s 4-H Club. Tiona is a
senior at FCCS and will be attending ULM in the fall.
She credits 4-H in helping her become a more confident speaker and has given several speeches to local
civic organizations. What a great accomplishment
Tiona!
