Like taking pictures? Submit photos for Teen Leadership Council’s Calendar Fundraiser!
The Ohio State 4-H Teen Leadership Council is interested in doing a fundraising project that would consist of making custom calendars to sell within the state. In order to do so, we are asking for counties to submit pictures from their county 4-H programs.
Submissions can be made by 4-H staff and volunteers. If the county would like to include their members, they are welcome to do that as well. If any faces of 4-H members or volunteers are recognizable in the submitted photos, please ensure that these individuals have a photo release from your county enrollment records.
If you find a photo that you would like to submit, please email it to Allyson McCurdy at mccurdy.98@buckeyemail.osu.edu by March 1st. Please put the subject as “TLC calendar photos.”
Depending on the amount of the pictures we receive, each month will have an individual photo or a collage of many photos. These calendars would be sold throughout the state by TLC members at various events and hopefully in the individual counties. Thank you for considering participation in this fundraising effort!
Sincerely,
Ohio 4-H Teen Leadership Council, Fundraising Committee
Summerfest and Junior Fair Award Winners – Don’t forget to THANK YOUR Award Sponsors!
All Junior Fair Awards were sponsored this year for the 4-H Summerfest and Fairfield County Junior Fair. It is important for our members to extend their appreciation and gratitude to our award sponsors. Members are responsible for providing their thank you note in an addressed and stamped envelope and mailing the thank you note directly to the award sponsor. If you received a trophy or special award at Summerfest or at the Fairfield County Fair, a thank you note with your sponsor’s information was included.
Members may reference this guide from Oregon State Extension for helpful thank you note writing tips. Please make sure you say more than “I really enjoyed taking this project this year.” or “Thank you for sponsoring this rosette.” Our sponsors want to know more about you and your 4-H/FFA experiences. Take the time to write a thoughtful thank you note just as they took the time and money to recognize your accomplishments this year.
If you need to know who your sponsor is or the address for your sponsor, please do not hesitate to contact the Extension Office and we can provide that information for you.
Please Remember to THANK YOUR SPONSORS!
We need to make sure our sponsors receive thanks and appreciation for supporting Fairfield County’s youth. This would include applying for the Bertha Wilson Scholarship, receiving awards at Summerfest, as well as receiving awards at the Fairfield County Junior Fair.
Please make sure if you are receiving awards (or have received awards already this year), to write a thank you note to your sponsor for these awards. Several people took lots of time making sure there was an address label for your particular sponsor on the back of rosettes/ribbons and attached to trophies.
Please note that we often lose sponsors because they do not receive a note of appreciation and thanks from our youth members receiving the awards that they have sponsored. If a member is not sure of their sponsor for an award received at Summerfest or the Fair, please contact the Extension Office and we will help you get the information you need.
We also strongly encourage youth to share information about their project, award(s) received, and perhaps a picture! Sponsors really enjoy reading this information.
