4-H is all about helping kids and teens. One thing most people needs help at is public speaking. A way that 4-H helps kids and teens with this problem is encouraging them to do visual presentations. Visual Presentations is when you pick a topic on anything you want (I did mine on Tree frogs) Visual Presentations can be a fun way to learn about different things and how to speak in public.
On March 4, 2006 I went to county Visual Presentations in Salem for my first time. My topic was Green's tree frogs and White's tree frogs. What I did was research all of my information thought of a way to put it all together and found pictures and visual to go with it. Turns out the judges really liked it and many other teens that competed couldn't believe this was my first year. I tied for first at states!
Visual Presentations are very fun. Even if you are not competing you should come just to cheer everyone on and to learn!

The Things I Learned By Trevor
I learned many things at the spring show this year. But most that
stuck in my mind was my experiences as a Show Comitee member for the
first time. In this group I learned how to fill out the show card that
judges the animals being shown. The key to this is to listen to the
judge very hard to hear his remarks about different aspects of the
animal (ears, teeth, coat, etc.). Then you must check in the
appropriate box (poor, fair, good or very good) and write the place the
animal got out of the total number of animals in that group

Italian Dinner by: Jenny
This last weekend I had the privilege of attending
the Italian dinner our club put together. It was a great experience and
something new to learn. The atmosphere was that of the quality of the
delicious pastas, meatballs and dishes that were all very well made. The
meal included a salad and main entrée and desert. Not only was it a
great meal but we learned a lot about serving food and running a
restaurant. When members of our club have the chance to get to know each other
better, the more we can grow. Personally I learned that serving people
requires manners and concentration. It was a lot of fun. Such a creative
fundraiser is a good way to get members involved. In my opinion it’s
something we should do again in the future, to those who went I’m sure
you would agree it was an enjoyable time.
