4-H ACTIVITY UPDATE
Howdy, and Happy ALMOST SUMMER!
The most exciting thing so far this month, is we’re now in Phase 2. We’ve been working
hard to work on our fair plan, and have a draft being reviewed by the Central MT Health
District. It looks like if we’re in Phase 2 or 3, we should be able to pull our fair
together with minimal modifications. If we end up back in Phase 1 we’ll have to make
a few more adjustments, but we will be able to hold the event. Please continue to
follow the CDC and State of MT guidelines, and don’t put those record books off ‘til
the last minute! If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to visit, please
call.
Have a great June!
Katie

STATE AMBASSADOR OFFICE
The Montana 4-H State Ambassador program provides opportunities for youth to represent
4-H through leadership and service at the state level. State Ambassadors Officers
are a select team of Montana 4-H Ambassadors that have demonstrated leadership in
their county 4-H programs, and who are interested in developing and refining skills
to teach other 4-H youth about leadership, promotion and service.
Applications are due postmarked to the 4-H Center by June 15, 2020. The ambassador
officer selection process takes place during pre-congress events.
