17th Annual 4-H/FFA Golf Tournament

Monday June 13, 2011 the 17th Annual 4-H/FFA Golf Tournament was held at Quarry Oaks Golf Course near Ashland NE.
This event is a fun one every year! It brings together supporters of two wonderful youth programs, 4-H and FFA, who spend a day golfing and supporting the programs! This year, the Nebraska 4-H Ambassadors represented the 4-H program and FFA State Officers came as well to help with the tournament and keep things running smoothly.

Here's the FFA Officers and 4-H Ambassadors working the registration table at the golf tournament!

The tournament was started via a shot gun start. Here's all of the golfers/golf carts lined up waiting to begin!

We had many great sponsors that donated to the event and helped make it possible! These are signs that were posted around the golf course showing who the sponsors were.

Golfers competed in teams of four!

Thanks to everyone who came out and golfed at the tournament, along with all those who donated and supported the 4-H and FFA programs that way!

Busy Times!

It's been quite a while since our last blog post. We've been quite busy here at the Nebraska 4-H Foundation. Since the last time we posted anything, we have unveiled a NEW website! Here's the link to the website:

Along with the new website we also have a new logo:We also started a new program for 4-H alumni who are now in college. This program is called the Nebraska 4-H Ambassador program and is currently made up of five University of Nebraska-Lincoln students. Later this year, in the fall, we will be adding more ambassadors to this group. To learn more about the ambassadors check out this page on our website.

The Nebraska 4-H Ambassadors have put together a program called the Nebraska 4-H Club of the Month. 4-H Clubs from throughout Nebraska can nominate themselves to be the Club of the Month. They tell their story (what their club has done recently, community service, etc.) and a club is chosen as the Club of the Month each month. The club that is chosen gets their story told via our Facebook page, Twitter, and also sent out to all of the counties and sent to their local newspaper! Also, the club gets a $50 cash card and certificate! Here's a link to more information about the Club of the Month program.
