| Impact Report | The 4-H year has been very busy as usual. 32 4-H first year members attended the This is 4-H workshop. This workshop gives new 4-H members a better understanding of 4-H and will asssist the new members with their demonstrations, record books, and social skills. 21 contest practices were held to educate and prepare 4-Hers in several contest areas. My goal is to educate the 4-Hers and give them knowledge that they can use in life not just to go and win a contest. Many of the past 4-H members have received full ride scholarships to college because they were succesful in judging in 4-H. To me this is a great impact for our 4-H program. The annual dinner and pie auction was again a great success, However it was down in total dollars do to the economy. The 4-H council raised $2650.00 for the 4-H program. This money is used to send 4-Hers to SLR, Teen Get Away, Novice Camp, District and State Contests and National Contests. Through many project vists the 4-Hers had a great year exhibiting their livestock at the county and state fairs. I assisted in raising $13,750.00 to spend at our county fair. The livestock sale was up $8000.00 in 2010. This is amazing as the economy is still very bad. This proves that the public strongley supports the 4-H youth. Several 4-Hers participated in the State Fair. Ten of the 4-H members made the livestock sale at the State Fair. This is attributed to my assistance and educational advice to the 4-H members. Seven 4-H members qaulified to show in the State Fair 4-H horse show, these 4-Hers did very well. 46 indoor 4-H projects placed first at the New Mexico State fair. The is attributed to the strength of our volunteer leaders and assistance of the extension office staff. Assisted the 4-H council in raising over $10,000.00. Collaborated with East Torrance Siol and Water Conservation District to organize Kids Kows and More to 498 4th grade students from the Moriarty, Estancia, Mountainair and Corona Schools.
