Impact Report Through the county wide “This is 4-H” program 423 elementary youth were visited during National 4-H week of 2006. Youth were educated of the county 4-H program and as a result fifteen new youth were added to the 122 enrolled for the 2006-2007 year. Of the fifteen there was 100% retention through the end of the year. County 4-H Council improved is involvement by officers attending statewide leadership activities as well as learning parliamentary procedures in cooperation with the local FFA Advisor. County Council’s fundraising has directly assisted fifteen youth and four leaders in covering costs to different conferences, workshops and camps. For the third year the County Council hosted an awards banquet for the youth. Eighty seven project completing pins were presented to the youth and fourteen leader awards were distributed. Council officers assisted in the organization and implementation of programs such as Kids, Kows & More, 4-H sanctioned rodeo, state 4-H rodeo finals, and promotional events. Communication awareness within the county 4-H program has improved as a result of a monthly newsletter as well as the establishment of an email list that includes parents, 4-H’ers and leader. Currently the list is made up of thirty one contacts with the list growing daily. 31% of traditionally enrolled 4-H’ers completed record books. This number has continued to increase over the last two years due to workshops and assessable county publications. The 2007 County Fair generated $68,534.60 which will go back to the youth with livestock projects. For the first time in seven years, San Miguel County had one youth exhibit livestock at the New Mexico State Fair. Five other youth participated in other aspects of the State Fair. All five clubs within the county reported participating in community services and citizenship activities.
