February Member of the Month

Damion Garza is the Tipton 4-H Member of the Month for February.   He was treated to a pizza lunch at school on Wednesday.  This is Damion's 2nd year in 4-H where his projects include rabbits, crafts, Farmhand Olympics, and Share-the-Fun.  Damion is always willing to help in the food concessions and with other 4-H activities.

Damion is 10 years old and in the 5th grade, but when he grows up he wants to be an astronaut so that he can see space.  His favorite thing to do now is play football.  When asked what Damion believes he does best he answered, "Do a flip".  He's practicing for space!

Damion lives with Emilio, mom Nicole, and his two younger sisters, Alexis and Jayla.  He says his hero is his mom because she is an awesome person.

Congratulations, Damion!

4-H Member of the Month - November and December

Note:  I found out that her name was misspelled so remade the certificate for her!)

Emilee Martinez (top) and Shon Booth (bottom) have been selected as recent 4-H members of the month.  These two 4-H members were treated to a mini personal pizza, a drink and dessert.

Emilee is in the 4th grade and is enjoying her first year in 4-H.  She is looking forward to baking and entering her creations in the fair next fall.  Shon is a 3rd grader and it is his first year in 4-H, as well.  Shon shows sheep as a 4-H project.

One of the most notable things about these two 4-H members is their enthusiasm about the club.  They are both always eager and willing to help with any event.  They were especially helpful during the county fair when the Tipton club worked in the 4-H concession stand.

Congratulations, Emilee and Shon!
