Tennessee 4-H Home Page: www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/ Online version of Ideas: www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/ideas04/ Ideas index: www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/ideas04/04-index.htm 4-H NECK WALLETS/NAME TAG HOLDERS AVAILABLE We have had counties interested in purchasing the neck wallet/name tag holders that were used for this year’s Tennessee 4-H Congress to use for other events. The wallet is an excellent way of keeping up with personal belongings. We will be placing an order through our office. The wallets would have the 4-H emblem and Web site address on them. If you would like to place an order for your event, the cost for the neck wallets will be $2.00 each plus shipping. If you wish to place an order, please contact Tammie Cole at 865-974-7434 or email at tdyer2@utk.edu. The neck wallets will not be available until after April 19. Alice Ann Moore CONGRESS DELEGATES COLLECT 5000 ITEMS FOR VANDERBILT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL Delegates and leaders at the 57th annual Tennessee 4-H Congress collected over 5000 items for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Donated items included diapers, baby shampoo, lavender lotion, blankets, gowns, hats, computer disks, and more. Debbie Meloy and Mary Lee Lemley, NICU nurses at Vanderbilt, spoke to delegates about the positive impact their contributions will have on the babies and their families, and delegates had the chance to reflect on their service experience in small group discussions. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this project a success. Lori Jean Mantooth ENROLLMENT UPDATE: MORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS??? Summer camp is coming up and I know I need one trained leader for every eight campers. How can I document their training?

Denise Brandon STATE COMMITTEE OF VOLUNTEER LEADERS SELECTS NEW OFFICERS The State Committee of Volunteer Leaders met during Tennessee 4-H Congress in Nashville and selected the 2004 officers. Congratulations to the following individuals:
A thunderous round of applause is in order for those members that are rotating off the committee. These individuals have served Tennessee 4-H Youth Development well over the past two years in their respective roles. Thank you to:
New appointees to the State Committee of Volunteer Leaders will be announced in the very near future. Patrick Hamilton TENNESSEE 4-H CONGRESS RESULTS Several 4-H members and adults were recognized at Tennessee 4-H Congress this week. Congratulations to all the award winners and to those agents and volunteers who motivated, coached and assisted with their work. Winners include:
Steve Sutton TROUSDALE COUNTY LEADS THE STATE IN HONOR CLUB INITIATES Trousdale County is currently the top county in the state in terms of number of Honor Club initiates for 2004. As of March 31, they had 15 new Honor Club members approved for membership. Bedford and Henry counties were tied for second with 10 initiates, followed by Cannon County with 9. Central is the top district with 48 initiates. We are convinced there is a positive correlation between the number of Honor Club members a county can qualify and the quality of the 4-H program in the county. Honor Club membership is based on participation. Unless many participation opportunities are made available, not many 4-H’ers will be able to qualify for Honor Club recognition. Go to www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/honorclub/howmany.htm for a complete listing of Honor Club initiates by district and county for January, February and March of this year. Steve Sutton THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.
