Every school, in every state, includes youth who have special needs. Join Oregon 4-H Program volunteers and staff on February 12th. Be inspired by 4-H alum, Temple Grandin (Colorado State University), as she talks about her experience learning with autism. Then, with the help of an instructor from Kids Included Together (KIT), we will practice skills and gain confidence in working beside 4-H youth who have special needs, such as physical, social or learning disabilities.

5 National 4-H Congress: An Opportunity of a Lifetime! 10th, 11th and 12th Grade 4-H Members, National 4-H Congress is held annually over Thanksgiving weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. Over 1,300 4-H members from all 50 states attend Congress. At Congress, delegates hear inspirational speakers, participate in cultural workshops, participate in a large-scale community service project, and other fun activities. The Oregon 4-H program views National 4-H Congress as an extremely amazing opportunity for 4-H members and is committed to providing this experience to as many 4-H members who can benefit from it as possible. Because the trips to Congress are dependent upon donations, a selection process is held each year. The State 4-H Recognition Committee selects Congress delegates based on the member's overall achievement in 4-H projects, leadership, communication, citizenship, community service and readiness to benefit from Congress. Financial requirements are minimal for National 4-H Congress delegates as trips are generously sponsored by donors. Typically, a $200 payment is required by congress participants. Even going through the application process is beneficial and attending National 4-H Congress would surely be one of your best 4-H and High School memories For more information on how to apply, please visit: oregon.4h.oregonstate.edu/national-4h-congress. I can also assist you with navigating the application process and review your application. Applications are due to the OSU Lake County Extension Office by February 20th. 4-H Leaders: Anna Fledderjohann (2014 attendee ) would like to come to your club and provide a presentation about National 4-H Congress. She would like to showcase her experience at National 4-H Conference and encourage others to apply for this amazing opportunity. To make arrangements please contact her via at clouddreameranna@yahoo.com Sincerely, Jamie Davis The 2014 Oregon 4-H Congress delegation in Atlanta Georgia. A classy group at the gala! Page 5
