I am really looking to get a big group of Citizenship Weekenddelegates outside of the typical sectional lines- this is a great opportunity for those with youth that are interested in CalFocus/CWF in the future but are too young/not ready, or those that can't attend one of those Citizenship conferences due to cost, timing, etc. If there are those that are interested from the far south or far north, I will try to organize carpool or a bus system so we can get kids to this amazing event. Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions! - Trent Casting "Kids Baking Championship" Greetings all! Blair Franklin, Casting Producer for a Food Network show called “Kids Baking Championship” is currently casting ages 8-13 for Season 4 of the show. |

From the 4-H Youth Development Advisor, Steven Worker President's Letter - Naomi Edwards
Hoping this letter finds you comfortable as you are getting ready for fair or camp, record books, and a new 4H year. Many youth have already show their fabulous, woodworking, art, photography, crafts, foods, plants, and animals at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, Congrats! Many of the youth are preparing for the end of some of their year long project planning at the Sonoma County Fair Aug 3-Aug 12. It is my hope that you have entered something so you can show the county your hard work, either in the form of an item or animal.If you have not entered go to the fair and be inspired! Many youth are at camp or finishing up the week as you read this. Thanks you to all those that graciously gave up their time to volunteer as youth staff or adult staff. Can't wait to hear how it was! Record Books are due August 19 and many youth are working diligently to finish up their recordbook. It is a valuable piece to see how far a youth has come in one year and what they have accomplished. I know, as a leader, I am already getting excited for new projects and youth that will be joining clubs in the fall. July 1 is the start of a new 4H year, so let's make it the best! See you at the fair, Naomi Edwards |

Roosters looking for a home Our poultry leader Ani Hansen (707) 477-8187, received baby chicks in the hopes they would be hens. Of course off the bat she has 6 roosters. She is looking to re-home them. Currently Western Farms is not taking any roosters in until they make room. She has (4) Sebrights and (2) blue Cochins. All have been hand raised and are friendly, but she lives in city limits and is not allowed to have any roosters.
