This is an incredibly fun opportunity for youth ages 13 and older to get to meet and interact with other youth in the District, learn leadership activities and skills, and to potentially run for additional leadership positions! We are also excited to be attending the camp with District 6, so we'll get to meet some new people.</p><p>If you serve in a youth leadership role (teen leader, club officer, ambassador, etc) we HIGHLY encourage you to attend this event. As a reminder, our County Council officers are required to attend and will be there with me as a chaperone, along with several other County Agents in our District. Additionally, the 4-H Council offers a reimbursement of 75% of the cost of registration for youth who register for <strong><u>and</u></strong> attend the event. If you have any questions about this event, please let us know!!</p><p><span style="color: red;"><em><strong>Please note that registration closes tonight at midnight for those who would like to attend and participate this year.</strong></em></span></p><p> </p><h3><span style="color: green;"><strong><u>QUICK EVENT OVERVIEW:</u></strong></span></h3><p>Promotional information for the 2022 District 10 Leadership Lab has been released and is available for <a data-cke-saved-href="https://d104-h.tamu.edu/files/2022/05/2022-District-10-Leadership-Lab-Letter.pdf" href="https://d104-h.tamu.edu/files/2022/05/2022-District-10-Leadership-Lab-Letter.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>download here</strong></a>.</p><p>Our District 10 Leadership Lab will take place at <a data-cke-saved-href="https://campkubena.com/" href="https://campkubena.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Camp Kubena</a> in Ledbetter, Texas from June 29 - July 1, 2022.

some quick information for the District 10 Leadership Lab for this year since registration has opened! This is an incredibly fun opportunity for youth ages 13 and older to get to meet and interact with other youth in the District, learn leadership activities and skills, and to potentially run for additional leadership positions! We are also excited to be attending the camp with District 6, so we'll get to meet some new people.</p><p>If you serve in a youth leadership role (teen leader, club officer, ambassador, etc) we HIGHLY encourage you to attend this event. As a reminder, our County Council officers are required to attend and will be there with me as a chaperone, along with several other County Agents in our District. Additionally, the 4-H Council offers a reimbursement of 75% of the cost of registration for youth who register for <strong><u>and</u></strong> attend the event. If you have any questions about this event, please let us know!!</p><h3><span style="color: green;"><strong><u>QUICK EVENT OVERVIEW:</u></strong></span></h3><p>Promotional information for the 2022 District 10 Leadership Lab has been released and is available for <a data-cke-saved-href="https://d104-h.tamu.edu/files/2022/05/2022-District-10-Leadership-Lab-Letter.pdf" href="https://d104-h.tamu.edu/files/2022/05/2022-District-10-Leadership-Lab-Letter.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>download here</strong></a>.</p><p>Our District 10 Leadership Lab will take place at <a data-cke-saved-href="https://campkubena.com/" href="https://campkubena.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Camp Kubena</a> in Ledbetter, Texas from June 29 - July 1, 2022.

send a couple of reminders to everyone following up on the Texas 4-H Roundup emails sent through the 4HOnline broadcast email system. <br /> <br />Check out the following information and links and let us know if you have any questions! We will be emailing those who qualified for contests this week to make sure they get registered; however, anyone can attend invitational contests!! This is a great opportunity to see if you like that contest, see the Texas A&M Campus, and check out some of the statewide things that happen in 4-H!!<br /> </p><h3 class="null"><span style="color: green;"><u><strong>EVENT DESCRIPTIONS:</strong></u></span></h3><ul><li><p class="null"><strong><u>Texas 4-H Roundup</u></strong> is a qualifying and invitational event for Senior 4-H youth (9th-12th) who placed in a district level roundup or signed up to compete in one of the invitational events. The Texas 4-H Roundup has around 50 diverse competitions that tie in with the many projects that 4-H has to offer.</p></li><li><p class="null"><strong><u>LEAD Academy</u></strong> is designed to engage youth in hands-on educational activities in which they explore, practice, and master existing and newly developed skills and knowledge in civic engagement, civic education, and personal development. It is an opportunity for volunteers to sharpen their skills to help them while working with the 4-H members in their clubs and projects. Volunteers can connect and network with other volunteers and parents.</p></li></ul><h3 class="null"> </h3><h3 class="null"><span style="color: green;"><u><strong>DATE & LOCATION:</strong></u></span></h3><ul><li class="null">June 6-9, 2022</li><li class="null">Texas A&M University Campus in College Station, Texas</li></ul><h3 class="null"> </h3><h3 class="null"><span style="color: green;"><u><strong>REGISTRATION INFORMATION:</strong></u></span></h3><ul><li class="null"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Registration Closes at 11:59 PM on Thursday, May 12, 2022</strong></span></li><li class="null">Registration Portal: <a href="https://tx.4honline.com/">4-H Online</a></li><li class="null">Event Name: “<strong>2022 Texas 4-H Roundup – LEAD Academy</strong>” You are able to register for both contest and the LEAD Academy workshop opportunities through this one event.

the Bastrop County Extension Office. <strong>Remember that both Council Delegates AND Club Members are invited to come and participate in discussions. We'd love to have you there to let us know what you are interested in seeing in the county!</strong> The Council has also decided to move the meeting dates to the <strong>First Thursday of the designated months</strong> to try to accommodate the heavy Tuesday activity schedules. <br /><br /></p><h3 class="null"><span style="color: green;"><u><strong>2022-2023 COUNCIL OFFICERS:</strong></u></span></h3><p> </p><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd/images/d8c5eee3-8e46-65ae-a2e6-b40a870854b2.png" data-file-id="5788286" height="640" src="https://mcusercontent.com/97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd/images/d8c5eee3-8e46-65ae-a2e6-b40a870854b2.png" width="640" /></div><br /></div><h3 class="null"><br /><br /></h3><h3 class="null"><span style="color: green;"><u><strong>2022-2023 COUNCIL MEETING DATES:</strong></u></span></h3><div><span style="color: green;"><u><strong><br /></strong></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img align="center" class="aligncenter" data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd/images/4d742b5c-b2fe-966e-03d7-b2233bd0ce55.png" data-file-id="5788294" height="640" src="https://mcusercontent.com/97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd/images/4d742b5c-b2fe-966e-03d7-b2233bd0ce55.png" width="640" /></div><div> </div></div><h3><span style="color: green;"><strong><u>OTHER OPPORTUNITIES:</u></strong></span></h3><ul><li>Other opportunities can be found on the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://agrilife.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd%26id%3De2f186af8e%26e%3Dea98150ebc&source=gmail&ust=1622135574291000&usg=AFQjCNHQ-nXoUsX7x5IBWfs0awTaZ0vJHA" href="https://agrilife.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd&id=e2f186af8e&e=ea98150ebc" rel="noopener" target="_blank">County Calendar</a> – registration information should be included for each post.</li><li>Other Contest related opportunities can be found on the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://agrilife.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd%26id%3D2fe45592b9%26e%3Dea98150ebc&source=gmail&ust=1622135574291000&usg=AFQjCNEs1r502vGdk4ElreZDDOHftOhzWQ" href="https://agrilife.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd&id=2fe45592b9&e=ea98150ebc" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Judging Card Calendar</a> – to sign up for these opportunities, please contact Mellanie at <a href="mailto:MLMickelson@ag.tamu.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">MLMickelson@ag.tamu.edu</a> or at 512-581-7186</li></ul><p>That's all for now!

We wanted to send out a couple of reminders for the Elgin Livestock Show & Youth Fair, as well as for the Rabbit Exhibitors since the show is only 4 weeks away!!! <br /><br />Currently, acknowledgement of entry emails are being worked on by the Show Board and should be getting out this week. The Board is also working on a list of tasks completed by each youth to confirm payout status that will be available at the <strong>next meeting (scheduled for SUNDAY, January 2, 2022, following a barn clean up day). </strong> Payout Status is determined by the following tasks:</p><ul><li>Paid Membership by October 1, 2021</li><li>Be an active member (family member attending at least 3 meetings)</li><li>Sell one (1) fundraising ticket OR gain a sponsorship for the show</li><li>Attend one (1) Barn Clean Up or (1) VFsetup/cleanup for youth fair ( as applicable)</li><li>Complete Thank You Letter(s)</li></ul><p><strong>There is still a need for several buckle sponsors</strong> - sponsorships are about $100 each, if you have a sponsor please let the Show Board know as soon as possible. If youth were unable to sell a fundraiser ticket this year, this will also serve as another option for completing that task.<br /><br />Check out some of the other information available below and let us know if you have any questions!<br /> </p><h3><span style="color: green;"><strong><u>2021-2022 SHOW BOARD & MEETING INFORMATION:</u></strong></span></h3><ul><li><strong>WEBSITE:</strong> <a href="https://www.elginlivestockshowassociation.com/">https://www.elginlivestockshowassociation.com/</a> </li><li><strong>ELECTED OFFICERS</strong><ul><li>President: Patrick Maass</li><li>Vice-President: Deborah Blackmore</li><li>Secretary: Sarah Munzer</li><li>Treasurer: Eric Fisher</li><li>Note - cell numbers are being added to the website this week </li></ul></li><li><strong>EMAIL: </strong><a href="mailto:elginlivestockofficers@gmail.com">elginlivestockofficers@gmail.com</a> </li><li><strong>MAILING ADDRESS:</strong><ul><li>Elgin Livestock Show Association</li><li>PO Box 1056</li><li>Elgin, Texas 78621</li></ul></li><li><strong>MEETING DATES:</strong><ul><li>First Monday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Elgin VFW off of Hwy 95</li><li><strong>Next Meeting has a SPECIAL DATE & TIME CHANGE - January 2, 2022, immediately following the barn setup day.</strong></li></ul></li></ul><h3><br /><span style="color: green;"><strong><u>YOUTH FAIR REMINDERS:</u></strong></span></h3><ul><li><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Youth Fair Check-In will be from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM on Friday, January 7, 2022</strong></span></li><li><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>Please be prepared with your paperwork, manners, patience, and a positive attitude</strong></span><ul><li>These are volunteers taking off work to ensure you have an opportunity to exhibit your work</li><li>They will not be opening check-in early and they will not be extending the check-in time.</li><li>You may check on your placings, make edits to your country store prices, and ask questions when the public viewing opens at 4:00 PM on Friday, January 7th. <strong><em>Access to the Youth Fair area and updates/answers will not be available before 4:00 PM.</em></strong></li></ul></li><li><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Please have your youth fair paperwork completed and ready to hand to the committee the morning of check-in:</strong></span><ul><li><strong>Link to Youth Fair Rules:<a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fagrilife.us1.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd%26id%3D356276fbaf%26e%3D51e47dee5a&data=04%7C01%7CMellanie.Mickelson%40ag.tamu.edu%7C21b3a45b1b8e44e382c108d9bc1c5ba0%7C9fd7580a64724d9ca142d131d3a7a116%7C0%7C0%7C637747652262575007%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=%2BHzeMFQbSgKBRKP96nAVxEa9wcJEY39no9bAUjM1xCM%3D&reserved=0"> 2022 Youth Fair Rules</a> </strong>- make sure to review your project categories and know which one your project falls under and if there are any specifications you need to make sure you follow.</li><li><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Link to the paperwork:</strong></span><strong> <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fagrilife.us1.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D97ddc276ad40954c3fc0bf6dd%26id%3D150a148857%26e%3D51e47dee5a&data=04%7C01%7CMellanie.Mickelson%40ag.tamu.edu%7C21b3a45b1b8e44e382c108d9bc1c5ba0%7C9fd7580a64724d9ca142d131d3a7a116%7C0%7C0%7C637747652262575007%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=dU5SlUOuJB%2BZ7EKHXFZLS0odQdjPnMsutgByJjqYcz0%3D&reserved=0">Project Worksheet</a> (no page breaks)</strong></li><li>The rules state that your paperwork must be handwritten by the youth member submitting the project - <strong>Project worksheets are worth 25% in judging each project.</strong></li><li><span style="color: red;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> </span>Little Wranglers do NOT need to fill out any paperwork except the 1st page with the country store price</li></ul></li><li><span style="color: blue;"><strong>If you have any other youth fair questions, please let us know as far ahead of time as possible - it will be hard to answer them the day before and day of check-in.</strong></span></li></ul><p> </p><h3><span style="color: green;"><strong><u>RABBIT VALIDATION REMINDERS:</u></strong></span></h3><ul><li><span style="color: red;"><strong>Rabbit Validation will take place this coming Monday, December 13, 2021, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Elgin Show Barn.</strong></span></li><li><strong>You will need to bring all of the rabbits you would like to show in January</strong></li><li>This will be a little stressful on the rabbits, since they are going to be tattooed, so exhibitors will need to note that they may be a little grumpy when being handled this evening and it may change their feed consumption.

OPPORTUNITY:<br />SAN ANTONIO & RODEO AUSTIN SCHOOL TOURS</span></h1><hr /><div><p>Hey all!</p><p>We wanted to pass on a couple of unique leadership opportunities available to both 4-H & FFA youth. Both the San Antonio Livestock Show (SALE) and Rodeo Austin (STAR of Texas) Show have opportunities for youth to lead school tour groups. <br /><br />For 4-H members, these are great experiences that count towards your leadership experiences for scholarship applications and your recordbooks. You do NOT have to currently own or show livestock, nor do you have to be entered in the show to participate in these opportunities.
