The 4-H theme for last year was “Let’s Grow,” and how appropriate that proved to be. The Tennessee 4-H Foundation passed the $12 million milestone in assets for the first time in its history. The realization of that goal translates into more income from endowment accounts, which means more funds are available to support 4-H program opportunities.

It is important to remember however, that the base of the 4-H program is at the local level. The first opportunity that a young person has is to join a 4-H Club, either in their school or community. This past year, the Tennessee 4-H Foundation inaugurated programs to not only increase the number of county endowments, but to also increase fund balances in existing accounts. A majority of the counties in Tennessee have chosen to participate in one or more of these efforts, which also emphasize teamwork among agents, volunteers, donors, members and the 4-H Foundation staff. The goal is to assure that resources are available to deliver a quality program to all participants.

The 4-H Foundation Board is indebted to Executive Director Ryan Hensley for his leadership in planning and executing these new initiatives.

The Tennessee 4-H Congress theme in 1968 was “Reaching Out.” I know this because, as I write this article, I am holding in my hand the program that was given to me when I registered for that event. The last five decades have passed quickly, but that 4-H Congress remains a vivid memory for me, and was a pivotal experience in shaping the rest of my life. My attendance at that event was made possible by the 4-H Foundation funding the state program and a committed Extension Agent in Loudon County, who raised my $75 registration fee from local donors. As I have said before, I did not attend 4-H Camp because the $12.50 might as well have been $1 million, so you can understand how out of reach the 4-H Congress fee would have been.

This investment sparked my motivation to be a 4-H and Extension participant and supporter as well as a UT Alumna. The project skills, and especially the life skills of citizenship, leadership, public speaking and parliamentary procedure, have proved to be invaluable in my adult life – and are ones that I continue to use and practice each and every day.

And yes, I still have my 4-H Congress sweater and my (mediocre) 4-H Record Book – but along with the skills that I learned, I also have a lifetime of relationships, friendships and memories. It is about the 4-H program, but that program is made up of PEOPLE – those who taught, shared and guided each of us. Now is our time to give back the return on their INVESTMENT.

INVESTING FOR LIFE: THE TENNESSEE 4-H FOUNDATION

1

Greetings from the Tennessee 4-H program! 2017 was an exciting year for 4-H. Through the efforts of our staff, volunteers and donors, we were able to bring life-changing experiences to over 180,000 Tennessee youth. These members honed their leadership, citizenship, communication, and project-specific knowledge and skills in order to prepare themselves to be positive change advocates in their communities and future workplaces.

A special emphasis in 2017 was the development on new 4-H curricula for both school and community clubs. A life skills model was developed and competencies determined for each of our major project areas. Lesson plans were then developed for use by agents and volunteers, which emphasized research-based experiential education. Our campus-based faculty are working hard to revise and develop new materials focused on ever-increasing knowledge and skill development for project work as a member gains more experience in their chosen project.

The hard work of our outstanding high school members was recognized on a national level last year. Numerous state-level winners went on to receive national awards, in many cases the top national award, in areas like public speaking, livestock judging, wildlife judging, shooting sports, consumer decision-making, and various skill-a-thon teams. Tennessee continues to have the reputation as one of the best 4-H programs in the country.

To accomplish all of the these things, and many others that space does not allow me to highlight, takes funding beyond that provided by our governmental support. Your donations are critical to providing state-level events, scholarships, national trips, competitions, awards and opportunities to develop cutting-edge educational experiences that change the lives of our members. For that I say a big thank you. You are truly helping “Make the Best Better!”

BEN POWELL (2002)“4-H encourages you to set goals, provides opportunities to help you meet these goals and then recognizes you for meeting the goals. Recognition comes in many ways. It may be a pat on the

back or that good feeling you have after you have helped a younger member or senior citizen in some way, or the ribbon or award you receive, or your name in the newspaper, or maybe even a college scholarship.”

As part of the inaugural class of Hall of Fame inductees in 2002, Ben Powell has nearly 40 years of work with the Extension Service. Powell became an Assistant County Agent in Rutherford County in 1959 and was appointed to a 4-H Specialist position just 10 years later. In 1981, Powell was appointed the State 4-H Leader and under his leadership, Tennessee was recognized as the top state in a number of national 4-H project winners. Powell is a recipient of the Distinguished Service award from both the NACAA and NAE4-HA, as well as the NAE4-HA’s American Spirit Award. In addition to his work with Tennessee 4-H, Powell has served as the President of the American Hampshire Sheep Association and Secretary of the Tennessee Purebred Sheep Breeders Association and the Southern States Sheep Council. He currently serves as a volunteer 4-H sheep project leader and at the state 4-H office.

MARTHA JO TOLLEY (2006)“I learned to value the never-ending talents and abilities of today’s youth and to try to guide those talents and abilities to help them make a difference. Today’s youth may be our

greatest underutilized resource. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to impact a few of them and watch our county staff make a huge impact working with Tennessee youth.”

Martha Jo Tolley became the first Tennessee woman to be inducted in the National 4-H Hall of Fame in 2006. With

an Extension career that spanned 33 years, Tolley served as a County Agent in Anderson and Hawkins counties, State 4-H Specialist and Interim 4-H Leader. She served on numerous national committees, including several National 4-H Congress Committees, the Citizenship Washington Focus Extension Planning Committee and the National Extension Task Force on Competition in 4-H and the Awards Committee. Tolley was a founding member of the Tennessee Association of Extension 4-H workers and has served as the secretary of the Tennessee 4-H Foundation.

PEGGY MUSTAIN ADKINS (2011)“4-H has kept my head filled with great things for 50 years and I am grateful.”

4-H never had a better friend than Peggy Mustain Adkins. Adkins’

service spans four counties, two states, and 11 countries. As president of NAE4-HA, Adkins was a member of a 250-person delegation for the very first African/African-American Summit in Ivory Coast, West Africa. She chaired NAE4-HA’s fist Legislative Update on Youth at Risk and worked tirelessly with lobbyists to engage states’ efforts with

children, youth and families at risk. Her efforts secured $10 million for what is now known as CYFAR (Children, Youth and Families At Risk). Adkins was named one of 10 Outstanding Young Women of America in 1985 and Freed-Hardeman University Alumnus of the Year in 2007. As a State 4-H Specialist, Adkins was known for her curriculum development expertise and authored the TAXI volunteer system development curriculum.

NATIONAL 4-H HALL OF FAME

In 2002, the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents created the National 4-H Hall of Fame in conjunction with 4-H’s centennial year celebration. The National Hall of Fame honors laureates who have made major contributions to 4-H at the local, state and national levels. Tennessee boasts seven members

of the National Hall of Fame. These volunteers, supporters and staff have made remarkable contributions to our program and are deserving of this major accomplishment.

“Today’s youth may be our greatest underutilized resource. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to impact a few of them and watch our county staff make a huge impact working with Tennessee youth.” – Martha Jo Tolley

DR. GEORGE FOSTER (2013)The late, great Dr. George Foster was inducted in 2013. Foster’s career is marked by a number of firsts that he initiated, including a program with the American Camping

Association for Extension workers in camping, support of the first state 4-H alumni organization and securing funds for the first full-time Tennessee 4-H Foundation worker. He served as a County Extension Agent, Assistant 4-H Specialist, 4-H Club Professor and State 4-H Leader, and worked at USDA, where he chaired the national award winners selection committee. He was awarded ‘life membership’ by the Parent-Teacher Association, NAE4-HA’s Distinguished Service and 25-Year Service awards, and when he retired, Foster had the longest tenure of any active state 4-H program leader.

DR. M. LLOYD DOWNEN (2015)“In retrospect, I did not know my 4-H pig project in 1933 would be far more important to me in the future than learning to care for my pig. Other 4-H Club members and I were learning

responsibility, integrity, leadership, citizenship and other life skills. Those experiences as a 4-H member were invaluable to me as I served as Dean of the University of Tennessee Extension.”

Former Dean and Director of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service, Dr. Lloyd Downen was inducted in 2015. During his administration, Dr. Downen led the Tennessee 4-H program to an unprecedented growth – he hired Ben Powell as State 4-H Leader, provided resources for grade-level curriculum in all 4-H projects, supported the employment of the first director of the Tennessee 4-H Foundation and provided

the state the ability to obtain more national 4-H project winners than any other state for 10 consecutive years. Downen served on countless advisory boards and councils, including the National Extension Committee on Operation and Policy (ECOP), ECOP 4-H subcommittees and the 4-H Council Panel of Extension Directors and the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees. His efforts were recognized by many, and he was selected by his peers to serve as the Chair of the Southern Directors Association.

DR. JIM BYFORD (2016)“Never take yourself too seriously, never let success go to your head and when you fall down, get back up, dust yourself off, take inventory of what you have left and start over.”

Dr. James (Jim) Byford’s efforts for Tennessee 4-H go above and beyond, which made him an obvious Hall of Fame choice in 2016. In Tennessee, Byford initiated the 4-H Wildlife Project, 4-H Food and Cover Establishment (FACE) Contest, and 4-H Wildlife Conference, which has become the longest-running state conservation camp in the nation. Byford also worked on the TN 4-H Wildlife Judging Contest, which later became nationally recognized as WHEP, and continues today. During his time as Dean of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences at the University of Tennessee - Martin, Byford worked to make sure that 4-H members were always welcome on campus and served as advisor and mentor to the collegiate 4-H Club. Byford has been awarded the Tennessee Youth Conservation Program of the Year, Cavendar Award, and Citations for Distinguished Service at both the state

and national levels. The Jim Byford 4-H Endowment was established in his honor and is used to recognize youth who have excelled in the Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries project. In 2014, he served on a task force that successfully received $15 million to build a new Tennessee 4-H camp and conference center at Lone Oaks Farm.

STEVE SUTTON (2017)“4-H has been good to me. As a youth, it helped me develop the confidence and skills to achieve things beyond my wildest dreams. As a profession, it has allowed me to

make a difference in the lives of countless young people.”

As the most recent Tennessee inductee, Sutton is a 30-year member of NAE4-HA and now a Life Member. Sutton is known for his ability to engage professionals in educational projects to provide leadership opportunities for youth around the state and served on the educational learning subcommittee for the Youth Issues ‘95: A 4-H Congress in Memphis. Sutton’s real passions lie within producing high-quality 4-H curricula – he’s served as a jury member for the National 4-H Curriculum Collection, chair of the 4-HCCS curriculum committee and a peer reviewer for 4-H National Headquarters’ Programs of Distinction Database. Sutton served two two-year terms on the National 4-H Congress Board of Directors and initiated the Tennessee 4-H Academic Conference to recognize junior high 4-H members. He is a recipient of the NAE4-HA’s Distinguished Service Award, 25 Year Service Award, American Spirit Award, Meritorious Service Award and Tennessee Friend of 4-H Award.

Emily Nave, a junior at Cannon County High School in Woodbury, is an outstanding example of what

it means to be a 4-H member and the qualities one must possess to be successful.

When Nave attended her first 4-H Club meeting in fourth grade, she was already familiar with the program – her mother served as an adult leader and her older sister was in 4-H Honor Club. After that first meeting, she knew that she also wanted to be an active participant.

Then, she competed in a speech contest and “truly fell in love” with the program.

With a deep history in volunteering and a service-minded wisdom that goes well beyond her 16 years, Nave felt it only natural to participate in the Tennessee 4-H All Stars. She now serves as the All Star Chief, a position also held by her sister in 2016.

“I was raised being taught to help others,” explains Nave. “I saw this part of 4-H as a way to help others and work with other 4-H’ers.”

As All Star Chief, Nave represents current 4-H members at meetings and

events across the state and facilitates statewide All Star events, like the 4-H All Star High Council meeting and the upcoming 70th Annual 4-H All Star Conference. She credits these events to helping her get to know other people with similar interests.

“There is no such thing as a stranger in 4-H,” Nave says. “I have met some of my closest friends because of a conversation at an event.”

Nave is an active participant in the Veterinary Sciences and leadership

projects and has been very successful in both. At the 2016 State Roundup, she won the Veterinary Science Project and received a $500 scholarship. Nave has also placed at the regional level each year that she has participated in public speaking, and for the last seven years, she has been a Top 5 Premier Exhibitor at the 4-H Sheep Expo.

Outside of her rigorous schedule balancing school and 4-H obligations, Nave is an active participant in several clubs at school, including FFA, DECA, and the debate club. She also performs in local community theater and has held notable starring roles, like Wendy

in “Peter Pan.” Nave is currently part of the 2018 Tennessee Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Choir and was a member of the 2017 National FFA Chorus as well.

In the future, Nave hopes to take what she has learned in 4-H and pursue a career to advocate for agriculture.

“I am currently wanting to major in business or communications and minor in biology to inform the public about agriculture,” Nave says.

Nave attributes 4-H Club for encouraging her to step outside her comfort zone and try new things. When asked to participate in Rutherford County’s poultry judging, Nave was hesitant because she wasn’t familiar with raising chickens, but with the encouragement from her 4-H family, she took the time to learn and poultry judging has become one of her favorite contests.

“I have learned so much from this experience, and many others, that the leaders in this program really care. What you invest in this program, you will receive back,” Nave says.

Nave carries on this generous spirit with her work in the 4-H All Stars and works diligently to inspire other 4-H’ers to get involved and give back.

4-H’ers around the state play a vital role in the success of the Tennessee 4-H Club

4-H MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Katie Lee, a native of Madisonville, Tennessee, is proof that the skills learned in 4-H Club as a youth

carry over into adulthood and can help a member fulfill his or her dreams. A participant of the clothing project, Lee now runs a successful blog, Pearls and Twirls, and is the co-owner of My Kind of Lovely, a popular boutique and one-stop shop for clothing and gifts.

Lee joined 4-H as a fourth grader at Madisonville Intermediate School and continued to participate in the Monroe County program until she graduated high school. During her freshman year of college at the University of Tennessee, Lee worked in the state 4-H office in Knoxville.

As a 4-H’er, Lee participated in the clothing and citizenship projects, as well as showing both sheep and cattle. Additionally, she served on the 4-H State Council, attended both State and National 4-H Congress and won the Vol State Award. She attributes her participation in 4-H with cultivating her interest in clothing and helping her

create her own success. “Participating in the clothing project

at such a young age gave me the confidence I never would have really learned about otherwise. I probably wouldn’t have realized the importance of clothing – how clothing is made, where it comes from, and the details in each piece of clothing,” explains Lee. “I think the project gave me a real

appreciation for the industry as a whole.”

Participating in 4-H wasn’t always easy though. Lee learned the importance of having a strong work ethic, especially for students raising livestock, and having confidence in everything you do. Public speaking was a particularly difficult activity for Lee, but her

parents made her push through and participate in public speaking events. Today, Lee hosts a monthly news segment on a local station in Knoxville.

After graduating from college, Lee accepted her first job and helped the company create and maintain a blog, which ultimately sparked her interest in creating her own site, providing her with a creative outlet outside of her day-to-day work.

Lee later moved on to an e-commerce retail company, and again, felt a little bored and unfulfilled. She joined forces with her business partner and best friend Caroline Gillem.

The duo decided to start a side

business where women could grab a great outfit, pick out the perfect present and leave feeling good about themselves – thus, My Kind of Lovely was born.

Lee and Gillem hosted a wildly successful first trunk show, where they almost completely sold out of their initial inventory. More had to be overnighted for the next trunk show. A couple of months later, Lee and Gillem opened up a pop-up shop in Madisonville that just celebrated its third anniversary. In August, My Kind of Lovely opened a second shop on the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville.

Lee’s achievements in her professional endeavors date back to her time in 4-H and her ability to push herself out of her comfort zone. She encourages current 4-H’ers to do the same.

“Participate in as much as you possibly can, even if that pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Lee says. “There were many times in my 4-H career where I was very intimidated, pushed way out of my comfort zone and often times things I did not want to do – hello, public speaking!”

Lee continues to work hard and define her own rules for success.

T he legacy and impact of the late Mary Jo Brinkmann is carried on today through a scholarship given

in her honor by her husband Bob Brinkmann. Since 2001, the scholarship has been awarded at every 4-H Roundup, and so far, 17 people have been on the receiving end.

Mary Jo Brinkmann grew up on a farm right outside of Bell Buckle, Tennessee.

Before her passing in October of 2000, Mary Jo served as an Extension agent for over 30 years.

The very first recipient of the scholarship was Amy Willis, who is now an Extension Agent II in Rutherford County. Willis’ history with Mary Jo

was long, and winning the scholarship meant a lot to her because of their close relationship.

“Mrs. Brinkmann, or Mrs. Mary Jo, was a part of my life from the very beginning. She came to Coffee County in the 1970s and was my Daddy’s 4-H agent,” says Willis.

The scholarship was created to honor those who had the same dedication and hardworking nature as Mary Jo. Her husband, Bob Brinkmann, never participated in 4-H himself but saw how much the program meant to Mary Jo and the impact it had on her life, so, after her passing, he created the scholarship to carry on her legacy.

“I have often told people that I married into 4-H,” says Brinkmann.

Martin Dickey, who received the scholarship for his Engineering/Safety Science Project, credits the funds to helping him realize his dream and go to college.

“Receiving the scholarship was a great honor and helped enable me to attend LeTorneau University where I am now a junior studying Materials Joining Engineering,” says Dickey.

Those who think back on Mary Jo think of her fondly.

“She would do anything she could to help her 4-H’ers succeed,” says Willis. “She was a master at pushing us to do our best and providing loving – yet stern – criticism when she felt that we hadn’t fulfilled our potential. Mrs. Mary Jo played an integral part in shaping me into the person I am today.”

Brinkmann agrees with the sentiment that his late wife only wanted to see her students succeed.

“Mary Jo enjoyed seeing a child as a fourth grader grow up to be a young man or young lady as they finished high school and went on with their lives,” explains Brinkmann.

“Some went on to college or to service and some went to trade school and work. This is the reason that I give the scholarship – to remember and reward the 4-H’er for their hard work.”

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: FARM CREDIT MID-AMERICA

e-farmcredit.com

For more than 100 years, 4-H and Farm Credit have partnered to help youth throughout the United States reach

their highest potential. With partnerships in Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, Farm Credit has raised over $100,000 to help nurture future leaders and create lifelong community citizens.

Investments to 4-H from Farm Credit are centered on scholarships, leadership activities and conferences that help strengthen the entire organization by starting with individuals. The Farm Credit and 4-H relationship is unique and special, as over half of all Farm Credit employees were members in 4-H during their childhood.

We’d like to thank Farm Credit again for helping our students reach their fullest potential and continuing to provide resources.

A PRESIDENTIAL MEETINGPresdient Trump recently spoke at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s 99th Annual Convention. 4-H member Grant Hitchcock was selected to greet him, and shares his experience here.

During President Trump’s speech, he included a line about how members of 4-H and FFA are the future leaders of our country. I believe that the White House got in touch with the AFBF about this and they thought that it would be fitting to have members of both clubs welcome him to Nashville. I was selected to represent 4-H because I am currently serving as the President of Tennessee 4-H. I kept in touch with a staff member from the White House and went through background checks to ensure that I would be a part of the welcoming committee.

The day before President Trump visited, Channel 4 News interviewed me. I was asked about my experience in 4-H and how I felt about being selected to welcome him. I was excited and nervous about the event, but it didn’t become real to me until Air Force One landed and President Trump came down the stairs. When he made it the end of the welcoming line, I introduced myself. He asked how I was doing, I said well and asked in return. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I had an amazing time meeting President Trump and representing Tennessee 4-H.

NEWS & NOTES

GIVING FOR GOODHow are you currently supporting the Foundation financially? Instead of making cash gifts, it may be a good idea to review your investment portfolio for any long-term appreciated assets such as stocks, mutual funds and bonds.

Consider contacting your tax professional to see if it may be more tax-effective to donate appreciated investments than it is to donate cash. You can eliminate capital gains taxes when you contribute appreciated assets directly, instead of selling the assets yourself and donating the after-tax proceeds.

For example, if you bought a security for $6,000 and it grew to $10,000, you may be able to gift the security to the Foundation directly, receive the full $10,000 tax deduction and avoid paying taxes on the $4,000 of capital gains.

In 2017, renowned landscape architecture firm - Nelson, Byrd & Woltz – was hired to develop a master plan for Lone Oaks Farm. The firm will help guide the development and construction of the Lone Oaks property for the next 100 years. Though the plan is not yet approved, we are excited about the future plans for Lone Oaks and the members that will benefit for years to come.

The Lone Oaks Farm property includes 1,200 acres of scenic pastures, large bodies of water and protected woodlands. The site is expansive and will be able to accommodate a wide variety of programming for Tennessee 4-H.

The map above shows the proposed 4-H camp area of the property. Campers will arrive at a campus core area (1-5), and disperse to one of four cabin clusters, each a tribute to a unique landscape: water and wetland (8); sloped forest and silvopasture (9); meadow and pasture (6). Recreation and education are immersed within the forest and its glades, lake and wetlands, and agriculture.

To view a complete summary of the proposed master plan, visit loneoaksfarm.com.
