2 Hello 4-H families: Although it was not an easy decision for me, I have been offered and accepted another position with the Boys and Girls Club in Yankton. My last day with Yankton County 4-H will be June 23. I cannot thank everyone enough for making this such a wonderful experience for me. I have loved 4-H since I was a child, and I am planning to continue my involvement as a volunteer. Specifically, as time allows, I will continue helping with the 4-H Junior Leaders and I hope to be able to help finish the Cloverbud year. Summer is not an ideal time for me to be leaving, but I know our committees and families can come together and help ensure Achievement Days and all of our other shows and contests go off without a hitch. Hopefully I will continue to see everyone around town. I will miss 4-H, the families, colleagues, and friendships. You all made me feel very welcomed when I first came to Yankton, and I will always appreciate that.

7 Cloverbuds Calendar WELCOME to South Dakota State University Extension s 4-H Cloverbuds Program. 4-H Cloverbuds is a nonformal education program designed specifically for children in kindergarten through third grade (ages 5-7). Children of this age are a distinct audience for 4-H, with learning characteristics and developmental needs that are different from older children/youth. They are not mini 4-H members. Their needs and interests require activities and events designed especially for them. The 4-H Cloverbuds program appeals to a child s natural curiosity, enthusiasm for learning, and high energy level. It provides opportunities for exploration and active learning in a non-competitive environment. By offering a wide variety of activities and experiences, the program encourages children to explore and think about the world around them. The children will find the program stimulating and fun. For more information visit: yankton4h.com/about/cloverbuds/. In Yankton County, our Cloverbuds meet once a month at the Extension Office (901 Whiting Drive) for one hour. Parents are not required to stay with their children. The Yankton County 4-H Program Assistant leads the session. All Cloverbud Meetings run on the second Monday of the month from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Yankton County Extension Office.

9 South Dakota State 4-H Youth Council will be doing a Head-to-Toe Drive for their State-Wide Service Project Are you doing some fall cleaning and going through your closets? The South Dakota State 4-H Youth Council selected a head to toe drive for their state-wide community service project. They want 4-H members, clubs, and leaders to consider donating any type of clothing item to their local shelters, coat drives, etc. in your community, explained Audrey Rider, SDSU Extension State 4-H Volunteer Field Specialist. This is a way for people to give back to their local communities and help out local families and people in need by giving clothes, jackets, shoes, etc. Counties throughout South Dakota will compete to see which 4-H county can donate the most items. The winning county will receive a prize. The Youth Council is asking counties, clubs and members to be creative and come up with fun ways to collect items and make a huge impact with this statewide community service project, Rider said. With your help, we are looking forward to improving the lives of children and families in our state.
