Congratulations to Dorothy Schilling
2019 4-H Hall of Fame Inductee!
Dorothy Schilling was inducted into the 4-H Hall of Fame on August 13 at
a ceremony held at the Illinois State Fair. Dorothy was a co-leader with the
Maeystown Clovers 4-H Club for nearly 20 years, where she devoted to
helping with club meetings, fundraisers, club outings, and more. When
help was needed, Dorothy was always there with a smile on her face ready
to do any task. Dorothy has also spent many years volunteering with the
Monroe County Fair Board, dedicating her time to ensure that the county
fair is a successful event for local youth.
Nora Duncan (Golden Eagles), Riley McDermott (Golden Eagles) and
Janella Neary (Clover Friends) attended the 4-H Memorial Camp in
Monticello, IL this summer. Camp sessions lasted for 5 days and
provided youth the opportunity to make new friends and learn a lot of
new things. Dozens of learning projects are also offered each week, such
as model rocketry, flower arranging, GPS guided geo-caching, electricity,
cooking, dance, music, drama, and photography. Evening programs
include campfires, games, skits, songs, campouts, and a big dance.
Consider attending 4-H camp next summer!
Janella
Nora and
Riley with a
new friend at
camp.

Save the date for fall shooting sports contests
Test your skill at the State Shooting Sports contests this fall. Read the age restrictions carefully. You may participate in one, two, three, or all four contests as long as you’ve received instruction from a certified 4-H instructor in THAT discipline. The top performers this fall may be eligible to compete in the 2020 National 4-H Shooting Sports Contest. Registrations for all State Shoots begins July 15.
Age Requirements for the State Shoots:
• Participants must be enrolled members of an active 4-H Shooting Sports Club for the 2019-20 year, so it is important youth re-enroll as soon as the new year begins in September.
• Youth may only compete in the discipline for which they have received instruction from a certified 4-H volunteer instructor. For example, youth who are members of a shotgun club led by a state-certified shotgun instructor cannot register for the pistol contest unless they have also participated in supervised instruction from a state-certified 4-H pistol instructor.
• Minimum Age: Youth must be at least 14 years of age by Jan. 1, 2020 to compete.
• Maximum Age: Youth must be no older than 18 on Sept. 1, 2019 to participate.
To be selected for the national competition team, youth must not turn 19 before Jan. 1, 2020. Thus, youth in their final year of 4-H who turn 19 in September, October, November, or December 2019 may participate in the state contest but cannot be selected for the national contest.
Shoot dates:
Shotgun will be held September 14 at the Brittany Shooting Park, Bunker Hill
Archery will be held September 21 at the Pekin Archers in Pekin.
Rifle & Pistol will be held September Oct. 12 -13 at the Central Illinois Precision Shooting (CIPS), Bloomington
End of year award time is approaching
Whether you are a first-year 4-H member or a longtime member, it’s time to focus on pulling together infor-mation for your 4-H award applications.

Older members can submit both the 4-H Experience Application and the Illinois 4-H Award Application to be eligible for state recognition, scholarships, and/or trips.
