Ron Poe Strives for a Medal
Ron Poe, 7th grader, was our lone person trying out for the cooking contest. He did the Favorite Foods (Hamburger) and Healthy Cuisine (An Asian Dish) for his cooking contest. Medals, certificates, and a special cookbook were his rewards. We realized that June is too late for cooking contests so we will have it during March next year. Congratulations to Ron!

Citizenship Washington Focus
Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is a week-long 4-H citizenship program for youth ages 14-19. Thousands of young people from across America stay at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center, near Washington, D.C., every summer to participate in the program, which provides opportunities for young people to:
• Strengthen their communication, leadership, and citizenship skills on a national level.
• Understand the importance of civic and social responsibilities as they relate to the development of better citizens and leaders.
• Exchange ideas, practice respect, and form friendships with other 4-Hers from across the country with diverse backgrounds.
• Experience hands-on learning using the historical classroom of our nation’s Capital city, Washington, D.C.
This summer, we have almost 1500 young people participating in the CWF program. Visit the CWF website (http://www.4hcwf.org/ ) to learn more about the CWF program. You can view videos under the media tab, read testimonials under the testimonial tab, or take a look at the CWF schedule under the registration tab.
