| Impact Report | Efforts to establish an active County 4-H Council program have proven successful as the Eddy County 4-H Council members and officers worked the year through to promote county fair, advertise during National 4-H Week, organize the annual awards program, and challenge their fellow 4-Hers to a county wide community service project for the troops. Youth participating in 4-H Council recorded radio spots and met with city council men to declare National 4-H Week in Eddy County. The 4-H Council donated several large boxes of items and supplies to the American Legion to be sent to soldiers overseas. Youth who participate in County Council also attended an officer training in Portales, put on by the State 4-H Leadership Team. Throughout the year, the Home Economist assisted the 4-H agent in advising the council during bi-monthly meetings and assisted the Council members in meeting business. An average of 11 youth participated in regularly scheduled council meetings and activities. Ten 4-H Council officers and members served as speakers, pledge leaders and presenters at the annual Eddy County 4-H Achievement Awards, increasing their public speaking skills and giving leadership to the overall program. Members received pins and various awards in recognition of their achievements and increase in life skills throughout the 2007-2008 program year. One hundred and fifty members, leaders and guests attended the event |
