STATE YOUTH COUNCIL

Information meeting | Nov 1 | 4:30 | 2420 Tramway Road | RSVP

________________________________

Why does Lee County need a youth council? The simplest answer to this question is, to meet the needs of youth in the community. The next logical question is, What are the needs of youth and how does the youth council meet these needs? To answer this question, we must realize that adults alone are incapable of meeting the needs of youth without the help of the youth themselves. The whole philosophy behind a youth council is that it is youth-directed.


The Youth Council is successful because it offers responsibility and challenge, to find ways to present old ideas that must be passed from one generation to another. It shows respect for intelligent, talented youths' ability to lead themselves.


The two main goals of the Lee County Chapter are to attend County Commissioner Meetings and decided on, select, plan, and complete a project in Lee County that will have a positive effect on youths in the county. I am looking for 9th-11th graders to represent their school and other youths in the county on this Lee County Committee.

LRF EDUCATIONAL BOOTH PAYS OFF - $350!

by Pam Kerley, 4-H PA

________________________________

Magetsi 4-H Club created an award winning educational booth for the Lee Regional Fair last month. They not only won first place ($100) among 4-H Clubs but they also won the Best in Show ($50) for all Booths on display. 


Myrna's club wanted to share the history of the Lee Regional Fair and each family took an element creating a dollhouse-sized fairscape in the booth with recycled materials. The precious elements included a pie bakeoff and a target competition booth complete with mini stuffed animal prizes. 


They did such a successful job with the booth that a local fair historian, Mr. Ronnie, saw it and purchased the whole booth from the club for $200. He told Myrna that he hopes to one day have a museum of memorabilia from past fairs. Myrna plans to use the money to buy costumes for the club's dancers. If you want to see the members at work they will be at the Lee County Library on October 10, J.R. Ingram on October 12, and in Raleigh at the Day of the Dead Celebration on October 29.
