At their May meeting, the Unlimited Leaders Council elected a new President-Elect, Mr. Aaron Pruitt. Prior discussion on the potential change of the member enrollment deadline from May 1 to March 1 starting in the 2022-2023 4-H Year was continued. The policy and procedures committee is currently drafting up that policy change with other edits as well.

 

In other business, the Committee discussed State 4-H Congress logistics, Awards Night, fundraising opportunities at MSU sports events, and needs for 4-H Cafe and 4-H Camp.

Vet Science
 

The Vet Science project requires a minimum of four (4) activities to be completed per 4-H calendar year. I highly encourage all members to enter their Vet Science project in the Fair Interview process...it's a terrific experience for youth speaking with an adult about something of great interest to them, and the personal benefits from gaining confidence, understanding the preparation skills required for an interview (i.e., future job, college, ...), to enjoying the fun of participating in an educational experience with your peers is so worth it! 

 

The June meeting will focus on wrapping up activity books (answering any remaining questions needed to complete the assignment) and building/crafting/creating the group Educational Exhibit for the fair.
