Leather Craft Workshop
9:00 am - 3:00 pm, Hall C
The Friends Forever 4-H Club is excited to announce a leather craft workshop scheduled for Saturday, March 9, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hall C. While this year's workshop will have some adjustments, our primary goal remains the same: to assist all 4-H'ers in completing their projects successfully. Due to the reduced availability of Leather Guilders, we will be organizing specific time slots to ensure each 4-H'er receives the necessary assistance. Please make use of the sign-up link provided below. We have new leather helpers this year who are enthusiastic about facilitating the workshop for Hamilton County.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B094FABAE28ABFB6-47535801-hamilton
Please note that all kits will need to be pre-purchased, and if you require specific tools or stencils, it's essential to communicate your needs early to check if our helper has them available for use. If not, parents may need to purchase these items this year.
Tandy Leather link to purchase kits and any tools/stencils needed.
We are excited to announce we have open judging for leather craft projects this year. Please look through the Project Handbook to note guidelines for appropriate levels.
Please email jennyrumple@gmail.com or text 317-670-4202 with any questions.

New interactive activities are being incorporated into the cat meetings this year to help our 4-Hers exercise hands-on practice for the upcoming fair! There will be workbooks, vet forms, and cat knowledge study guides at the first meeting.
Important vet paper information: The preferred practice is for each family to bring the 4-H vet forms and a copy of their vet record sheets to be reviewed by the leaders. This practice allows time to resolve any questions that may come up. It is also a good habit to get into for the upcoming Cat Show!

For 4-Hers entered in the project and parents/guardians
Are you the person that wants to be in front of an audience? Could you be the person who sees value in communication skills, but is scared to speak in public? Or, did your parent(s) say this would be a good project for you and your future? No matter your answer, this project is for you and I am here to help.
Often-Asked Questions:
- How do I pick a topic?
- How long do I have to speak?
- Does it have to be memorized?
- Will I stand behind a podium or table, or be on stage?
- What are the different types of presentations I can choose from?
- Where and when will I give my presentation?
- What should be included in my presentation?
- How can I be successful in this project?
- Are there tips to being prepared for the county contest?
- How can I tell a compelling story or demonstrate an interesting topic?
We will discuss the goals and objectives of each of the four project types:
- Demonstration (How-to)
- Informative 4-H Presentation (Promoting 4-H activities and events)
- Professional Persuasive Presentation (addressing community issues)
- Public Speaking
As the project leader, I will answer these questions and others that you have as well. I have been the project leader for 30+ years. I was a participant and state winner in this project while I was in 4-H and also in FFA. Both of our daughters were in this project and state winners from Hamilton County. Additionally, I have helped many other 4-Hers succeed in this project. I have been giving presentations throughout my professional career as an association executive, professional speaker, leadership trainer, university professor, community development specialist, and organizational development consultant. I use these skills everyday and you may too.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL BE ATTENDING (and how many others will be attending with you). PLEASE RSVP to me at Phil Anderson - 317-294-2775 or rethinkphil@gmail.com
4-H’ers will have the opportunity to complete project manual activities at the workshop as well as get your computer project questions answered. For more information about the workshop or the project, contact project leader Andrew Schmidt at 317-774-4286, adschmidt@bsugmail.com

4-H’ers and their parents are encouraged to attend. 4-H’ers should bring their Swine Project manuals. The first portion of the meeting will be a guest speaker and group discussion. The second portion will provide 4-H’ers an opportunity to complete an activity from the project manual. This will count toward their activities for 2024.
