I have attached a summary of the recordbook results.  Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to turn one in.  Turn around on books is short.  Mary Bridges (Pilot Point), Laura Watson (Ponder), Lisa Galvin (Trail Blazers) and Susan Kilpatrick (all others) have your books.  Ribbons will be placed in individual packets at our annual banquet.

I will be mostly out of the office.  I leave on the 1st for the 8-day GO4-H trip and come straight back into District Recordbook Judging and State 4-H Dog Show.  If you have any questions please drop me an e-mail.

Congratulations!  Tesh Beaty and Laura Ramsey have been selected as the Texas Salute to Excellence winners from District IV.  There are only a limited number selected in the state each year.  This is the highest recognition that the Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program sponsors for its volunteers each year.

Mrs. Beaty and Mrs. Ramsey will be recognized during a banquet at State 4-H Roundup in June.  Our county delegation will have the honor of watching them walk the stage at the Wednesday night awards assembly too.

Erlene worked hard and submitted four nominees for this year's VLAT awards.  Competitions for these awards are stiff and we are proud of all of our leaders.  Mary Bridges was nominated for the Texas 4-H Leader's Legacy Award.  Laura Watson was nominated for the Texas 4-H Alumni Award.  Congratulate these ladies for their hard work and dedication the next time you see them.  4-H can keep making the best better because of leaders like this.
