Message from Your President Beth Henning, Goliad County

Hey 4-Hers, The countdown came and went and now it's 2012!! With the new year, I invite you to try something new, maybe it be mohair judging or shooting trap in shot gun. 4-H has some-thing for everyone to learn, so try something new this year! If you missed the Corpus Christi waves at Crossroads, we can't wait to see you in Brenham at District Round-Up. Start polish-ing up for your contest! Or see your County Extension Agent for information of what Round-Up is all about!

If you or your parent(s) have any questions that we may be able to answer be sure to ask us on the DISTRICT 11 4-H Face-book page. Thanks and Gig 'um, Beth Henning P.S. Your District Officer Team wishes you the best of luck at all of your county/major stock shows. And Class of 2012 Seniors re-member to check with your Ex-tension Office for the Texas 4-H Opportunity Scholarship dead-line. Deadlines are approaching fast! Don’t miss out.

Deep in the Heart

Coming to All Texas Cine-mark Theaters February 17. The number of people that attend the movie on Feb 17 will determine how many theaters across Texas will play the movie this Spring! “Deep in the Heart” reveals the true-life story of Mr. Richard “Dick” Wallrath. No one person has ever given more financially to the Texas 4-H and Texas FFA Scholarship Programs than Dick Wallrath. He has also provided tremendous financial assistance to 4-H and FFA members through major livestock show pre-mium auctions. We sincerely request that you support this emotion-packed documentary of Dick’s life for two reasons. First it could have an im-pact on your own life. And secondly, because of Mr. Wallrath’s continued gener-osity, a portion of all ticket sales will go to both Texas 4-H and FFA to further strengthen their much needed scholarship pro-grams.
