At the Ralston Grange Hall, on Saturday, March 9, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., presentations will be held for all 4-H youth, parents and leaders in Adams County. An invitation to participate has also been extended to 4-H groups in Lincoln County. All participants are asked to bring a sack lunch.

There will be three presentations in the morning. The first one is called “Public Presentations – Oh My!” Tips on making public presentations will be offered.

There is also a presentation on “Record Keeping.” This one will teach how and what to keep track of during the year.

A child-protection training video for leaders will be shown during lunch. Completion of this training is now required by WSU for all faculty, staff and volunteers working with youth.
