Impact Report The 4-H year has been very busy as usual. A 4-H member was selected to serve as a State 4-H diplomat. 23 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. 15 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. through these educational contset practices the 4-Hers did win the state conference meats contest and will represent New Mexico at the National Contest in Kansas City. 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. The 4-H council raised $3639.65 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 $10,650.00 to spend at our county fair. The livestock sale was a record in 2007 with the sale bringing in over $130.000.00 to the youth of Torrance County. Several 4-Hers participated in the State Fair. 10 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. 6 4-H members qaulified to show in the State Fair 4-H horse show, these 4-Hers did very will with one of them being reserve hi point senior. 33 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. 4 4-H members were selected as scholarship winners by the New Mexico Jr. Livestock Foundation.
