4-H leaders return from annual conference
Emily Cadamagnani and Mary Smith of Tonopah returned
home this week from Tucson, Arizona where they attended the
annual Western Regional 4-H Leaders' Forum, January 9 to 12,
1997. They were two of 18 leaders from Nevada participating in
the conference, designed to help volunteers enrich leadership
skills to improve local 4-H programs. More than 600 leaders
from 13 Western states, Canada, Guam, American Samoa and
Micronesia attended.
Workshops covered a variety of topics designed to further the
effectiveness of 4-H in meeting the needs of youth in the '90s.
One of the most productive parts of the conference according
to Smith was the exchange of ideas and the testimonials with
other leaders and their experiences what they gained personally
and what they were able to return to the community s 4-H
Leaders.
At the Forum Cadamagnani was awarded the Teen Pinnacle
Award, given tbr her outstanding leadership and citizenship
abilities within her community, county and state.
Thank you to The Station House for providing playing cards
as souvenirs to share at the conference. Appreciation was ex-
pressed that the cards read "Tonopah, Nevada."
Learn more about opportunities for youth and adult involve-
ment in the 4-H program by contacting your local Extension
office in Tonopah at 482-6794 and in Pahrump at 727-5532.
