County Photo Contest rules are on the website. Entries are due to our office by Friday, March 9 (Correction from newsletter) NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Eligibility forms............oh boy, have we had a lot of calls on this subject. We have had articles for months in the newsletter about eligibility forms. Every competitive event will need a eligibility form. It does not matter if they need to be out of school or not. To compete in any contest, you must be eligible.

I need help to fold 4-H brochures. They can be taken home and returned by January 15th. Give me a call if you can help out.

We are looking for newsletter sponsors. The newsletter is mailed to about 750 families and costs approximately $100.

Council budget (in the January newsletter) will be voted for acceptance on Jan. 18 at the ENP office on Crossroads, 7 p.m. Encourage your club delegates to attend and vote yes or no.
Please remind your graduating seniors of all the scholarships available for them. Many are coming due in January and February. Encourage them to start working on them to meet the deadlines.

If your club is setting up a table at Youth Day and will be doing a hands on activity and need some pieces of material or ribbon, we have a lot here at our office available FREE. Call and let us know when you can stop by to check it out.

To those members who applied to calf scramble at the San Antonio Stock Show, we still have not received confirmation. When we hear, we will send out a letter to those who applied letting them know, yes or no if they were selected.

If you have any questions on the above articles, please let us know.
