To aid US soldiers in war torn areas with

areas often go without proper clothing,
school supplies, hygiene items

these items we enable our soldiers to
reach out to the children and their
families, creating relationships and trust
which has a side effect of keeping our
soldiers safe and secure in the areas
which they are based..

2008 State 4-H Judging Contest
The objective of judging in the 4-H program is to help members grow in their ability to think, to reason, and to make logical and scientific judgments. Judging is making choices and decisions. Judging is an everyday activity. In 4-H, judging is essentially a matter of comparing four items. If 4-H members know what factors make up an ideal animal, plant, or situation, they are more able to recognize top quality products, to know good standards, and make wise decisions based on facts.
