The summer season has also been busy with reviewing the massive number of applications for the 22 field staff positions we currently are seeking to fill vacant 4-H agent and 4-H educational center slots. We have been blessed to have such quality applicants for these positions and are working to get these filled as soon as possible. Some interviews have already taken place, while others are being scheduled within the next few weeks. We hope to have all positions filled by early fall.
The volunteers and salaried staff throughout the state have been very busy this summer planning and organizing our duties as hosts of this year's Southern Regional 4-H Leaders Forum at Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Georgia. The event will take place Thursday-Sunday, September 30-October 3, and our theme is, "4-H History...in the Making." Under the capable leadership of Dr. Jewel Hairston and Richard Johnson, the ten committees have met several times and are almost prepared to host this annual event that involves approximately 700 adults from the Southern Region. At the time of this writing, we have approximately 70 registered for this year's event from Virginia. We are looking forward to an exciting staff development and fun experience.
I look forward to the fall season and all the opportunities that we have to impact the lives of 4-H youth and adults working with those youth through 4-H programming. Thank you for making the best better in your community, unit, and state. Best wishes for your work with Virginia's 4-H youth.

Your 4-H Policy IQ Answer!
3.6.1 Eligibility Requirements
Youth will normally enroll for all their 4-H work in the unit in which they reside. However, there may be a situation where it is advantageous for youth to be enrolled in the 4-H program outside their unit of residence. However, youth are restricted from enrolling in the same project in more than one unit in the same year.

FAMIS is Virginia's health insurance program for children. It provides access to quality health services for children who do not have insurance. FAMIS keeps children healthy, and healthy kids make better students. It covers the regular care children need to keep them healthy plus the services that will help them make a speedy recovery if they get hurt or sick. FAMIS covers doctor and hospital visits, prescriptions, shots, dental and vision care, and much more!
To get FAMIS children must live in Virginia, be age 18 or younger, currently uninsured, and U.S. citizens or one of the qualifying legal residents. A parent's citizenship is not considered and application information is not shared with INS. Having FAMIS coverage will not make families a public charge.
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 to apply! Families can start an application over the phone.
Families can also choose to stop by your local Department of Social Services for an application.
The good news is that there are already over 95,000 children enrolled in the children's health insurance program in Virginia! Community involvement has been key in helping these families take the first step in applying for FAMIS health care coverage. Many families don't realize that they are eligible. They think that they earn too much, but even a family of four making up to $37, 700 a year can qualify.
4-H groups can do many things to help reach families whose children are uninsured. Brochures or flyers can be sent home with members so parents can learn about the program for themselves or pass the information along to a neighbor. Camp programs may include FAMIS information in camp registration packets and articles can be included in local newsletters. Your 4-H club could also sponsor an informational session with a FAMIS Outreach Liaison. These are just a few proven strategies that clubs may want to try for themselves, but it doesn't have to stop there. Be creative in your outreach ideas!
If you would like to order free FAMIS materials or talk to a FAMIS Outreach Liaison about developing an activity for your club, call Olivia Dickerson at 804-786-3359. FAMIS workshops are also available throughout the state. Check out the FAMIS website www.famis.org for more information about the program.
If your child needs health insurance, call 1-866-87FAMIS today to start an application or to get more information. Together we can help prepare our kids for school and a healthy future!

The participation of the 4-H Clubs in Young MacDonald's heightens awareness of 4-H programs. Not only do these students help maintain the Farm, they interact with the public by providing valuable information about the animals. This experience is a win-win for all concerned.
Once again, 4-H has been asked to recruit 4-H groups as hosts for Young MacDonald's Farm. Groups interested in volunteering are asked to follow the steps outlined in the attachment of this letter.

Historical Trends in 4-H Enrollment, with Graphs 1996-2003. You may manipulate these nationally, for states within a region, or for individual states. Want to quickly ascertain trends in your state by race, residence, school grade, or curriculum category? It's amazingly easy. You click a couple of buttons, and it creates what you want to see "on the fly."
Comparative Analysis of 4-H Enrollment and US Census School Grade Data 2002. (Annual census data does not come out until August, so 2002 is the latest census data). In late August we will have your Market Share for 2003.
Comparative Analysis of 4-H Market Share - 1992 and 2002. I did the 1992 Market Share analysis the hard way, without use of database. Now we show you graphically what has happened in the 10 year period. Some of these will truly amaze you. The difference between the states in Market Share is nothing short of astonishing. Also amazing is how much this can change in a decade. States range from less than 2% of school-age youth reached to over 90% reached by 4-H.
1996 was the first year everyone was using our "new" reporting system. We hope you will put a hotlink to the http://reeis.usda.gov website on your state website, and bring it to the attention of your researchers and enrollment contacts. Eventually, REEIS is supposed to house all the land grant university datasets. At present, it has 4-H, EFNEP, the CRIS research database, and five others. --Alan Smith, USDA
