National 4H Week, November 4-10, cele brates the accomplishments of the past year and honours the thou sands of 4H members, and volun teer leaders all across the country who contribute to the success of the program. National 4H Week is an annual event which acknowledges 4H members and leaders past and pre sent, salutes the milestones they have achieved and the contributions they have made to agriculture, their communities and rural Canada. The week's activities include a national public awareness campaign, two national conferences and the Friends of 4H Banquet held in Toronto, plus a host of other spe cial events and activities organized by provincial and local 4H organi zations. The impact of the 4H program and its members is the major focus of this year's National 4H Confer ence - “4H Youth ... Making and Difference.” Seventy-one 4H'ers from across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom will come together to work in issue groups examining relevant and global concerns such as the envi ronment, the vitality of rural com munities, Canada's international competitiveness and animal wel fare. 4H volunteer leaders will also meet in Toronto to explore the issues and challanges they will face as leaders in the 1990's and beyond. Conference sessions are designed to develop the skills which will enable them to lead the 4H program and its members into the twenty- first century. Both conferences will feature seminars, workshops and social events such as a mystery the atre, attendance at the Royal Agri cultural Winter Fair and a banquet in Toronto's China Town. The high point of the week's activities is the evening of Friday, November 8. Delegates from both conferences join 4H sponsors, Foundation trustees, past presi dents, honourary members and cor- porate and association member representatives of the Canadian 4H Council for the annual Friends of 4H Banquet, a long-standing tradi tion where 4H friends and support ers gather together for an evening of dining, presentations and enter tainment in the true spirit of the fun and fellowship that is 4H. 4H has been serving Canada's rural youth for more than 75 years, providing relevant agricultural and leadership skills. The organization looks to the 21st century with con fidence in its ability to continue meeting the needs of rural youth by focusing on knowledge, leadership, citizenship and personal growth. ’’Rural Voicei^ TH MAOAZM OF THE AOFtCULHJRM BOUgTRY Don’t Delay — Subscribe Today The Rural Voice Produced by people with farming in their blood Serving more than 15,000 readers in the region One year for $16 05, two years lor $26 75 (GST included in prices above) The Rural Voice Box 429, Blyth, Ont.
