Theme

"Helping Hands Through History - 100 Years & Counting"


Location:

Texas 4-H Conference Center in Brownwood, Texas


Date:

June 25-27, 2008


Objective:

To prepare teen leaders from the 18 counties in District 9 for leadership roles. These roles might be at the county level, or county committees, or their clubs. The hope is that participants will take information back from lab and share it with members back in their counties. The lab is set up to be enjoyable and fun, but there is work too. Many workshops are set up that will require concentration and serious participation. Speeches are delivered for officer elections. The permissible age is 14-19 years of age. We work and we play. Play time is set up with activities that build team work skills and camaraderie in the district.


Description:

4-H members from 14-19 years of age (at the time of lab) may participate. Chartered buses will begin in Liberty County and Harris County. Counties are responsible for arranging transportation to the pick-up location. Buses will also return to the pick-up location early Thursday morning. The registration fee covers 2 nights of lodging, bus transportation, all meals, program activities, insurance, curriculum, and a T-shirt. The attire is school appropriate (casual). Each evening there is a dance and many kids want to dress up. However, there are kids who wear summer clothes and each night is a theme dance so costumes are permitted. On the last night there is a banquet for the outgoing officers. The dress for this event is “Dressy."


Fee:

$210.00


Entry Deadline:

June 1, 2008
