Guadalupe County 4-H Gazette - Texas A&M AgriLife Extension ...

TexasSpeaks is an online survey conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service with the pur-

pose of listening to Texas citizens as they identify the strengths and needs of their communities.

The goal of TexasSpeaks is to engage as many Texas citizens as possible to create the most accu-

rate and helpful data to support Texas communities at both the state and local levels. This is similar

Matt Miranda

County 4-H Agent

This time of year, we

get a LOT of questions about buyers lists, youth

show checks and whatnot! Here are some guideline

that will hopefully clear up any misinformation floating around.

Buyers Lists and Photos

These are the lists of peo-ple who either bid on your

project, or added on. You are required to send a

thank you note to EACH of these buyers! They took

the time to spend money on you, you can take the

time to write them a thank you note! The photos you

ordered can be sent to your

primary buyer, which is the buyer that spent the most on

your project! Youth Show Checks

Your checks will be picked up from your club managers! You will not pick these up

from the extension office. You are REQUIRED to show

a copy of all of your thank you notes (NOT SEALED IN

AN ENVELOPE) to your manager to receive your

check. If you are not present

at your club meeting during the pick up months, OR if

you do not show your club manager a copy of your note

The Healthy Texas Youth

Ambassador Program is looking for teens that are motivated, excit-

ed, and ready to make a change in their community! This program is

designed for high school age youth who have a passion for health and

wellness. These youth will be trained at the regional level to be-come youth health experts who

can motivate others to make a change in their lifestyle to improve

their health. More importantly, these ambassadors will assist local

county extension agents with pro-gram efforts, project activities, and

much more! Youth do not have to be

current 4-H members, but must be willing to join 4-H. Agents are

encouraged to look beyond the 4-H program and recruit youth from

local school health advisory com-mittees, health science programs,

high school culinary arts programs, home school associations, commu-nity and church groups, and other

youth organizations. Eligibility requirements

include:

• Be in at least the 9th grade at beginning of the 2021-2022

school year

• Submit completed application

online by May 1, 2021 (Application posted later)

• Have an interest and passion to

serve others in the area of health education

What does the program

entail? After youth are accepted to the local program, they must fulfill

the following obligations:

• Complete and report 40* hours of leadership, program efforts,

or community service annually.

• Attend a Regional Healthy Tex-as Youth Ambassador Summit

in a location nearest to them.

• Attend face-to-face and online trainings

• Remain academically eligible.

• Must agree to the obligations and requirements outlined in

the HT Youth Ambassador Handbook.

Ambassadorship is a 12-month commitment, beginning June

2021. Ambassadors who fulfill the minimum (40) hours of service will

be invited to reapply for the follow-ing year. New and returning ambas-

sadors MUST complete a new appli-

cation annually.

For more detailed descrip-tion of requirements and expecta-

tions, agents should review the 2021-22 Healthy Texas Youth Ambassa-

dor Handbook. The updated appli-cation and book will be found at

https://healthytexas.tamu.edu/resources/youth-ambassadors/ dur-ing the 2nd week of March.

Selected ambassadors will be required to pay the estimated

registration fee of $75-$100 for the regional Healthy Texas Youth Am-

bassador Summit. They will also be responsible for any travel costs re-

lated to this or other trainings es-tablished by the county extension

agent or regional Healthy Texas Youth Ambassador Team. Actual

program cost will vary from county to county and be dependent on ac-

tivities and trainings offered. Deadline to apply is May 1.

If selected, you would need to at-tend the South Region workshop in June. For more information on the

Healthy Texas Youth Ambassador program, contact Julie Gardner at j-

Guidelines for Conducting Adult and 4-H Meetings, Programs and Events

- Guadalupe County 4-H

Clubs may resume face-to-face meetings, provided all rules are

followed and the Program Preparedness form is filled out. Prac-

tices may resume now, and COVID forms and Program Prepared-

ness forms should be filled out for each meeting.

** Variations will exist between counties and what is allowed based on local requirements/mandates, do not compare your

club/county activities to those in neighboring counties

Best Practices for Adult and 4-H Club Meetings, Programs, Banquets and Events:

• Group meetings may be at a 50% capacity of space or fewer people only if social distancing can be practiced, WITH a

limited capacity of 50 people.

• For meetings/activities greater than 50 people, a preparedness plan must be submitted for approval by the County

Extension Agents

• However, it is recommended that you submit a preparedness plan for all events as we navigate doing some programs

in person.

• For 4-H Clubs specifically having each club complete a preparedness plan will help to ensure that they are following

our practices.

• If the local health authority or county commissioner’s court implements a mandate of fewer people, then that policy must be

followed.

• Pre-order supplies and materials, including tissues and hand sanitizer, masks, etc.

• Encourage participants to bring their own masks/face coverings

• Masks/ Face Coverings MUST be worn by all individuals, per the Governors order (GA-29).

• Tables and chairs should be sanitized before and after meeting and at breaks.

• Frequently clean high-touch areas, including door handles, surfaces, handrails, etc. within the confinement of the phys-

ical space of the program.

• Check with facilities and venues on requirements for cleaning/sanitizing facilities after and during use

• Actively monitor where COVID-19 is circulating. Advise participants in advance that if they have any symptoms or

feel unwell, they should not attend.

• Send anyone who appears sick away, whether employee or client.

• The COVID 19 Screening Form (obtain from your agent/4-H Specialist) can be used for the purpose of screening ALL

participants (youth, adults/volunteers, little siblings)

• Club Managers/Event Coordinators should retain hard copies of this document

• Virtual Meetings and Events are encouraged alternatives

• When utilizing online platforms, be sure to follow guidelines established by Texas 4-H at the link below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V5GcZWEoWa29b9050v2utCPFj2A3SHtG/view

• This is a “live” link, which means it can be updated at anytime based on new guidance from administration.

• Remember, if this can be done virtually, we would encourage you to consider conducting it that way.

Meals/ Refreshments/Snacks Provided at Meetings/Events: •Pre-packaged foods or boxed lunches, no taste testing or food sampling at programs

•Serve meals with disposable utensils, napkins, cups, and plates.

•Clean and disinfect tables, chairs, etc. after use.

** All Extension office operations and employees must be compliant with all state, county and local public health procla-

mations and ordinances

Face to Face Program Preparedness Plan Organizers of meetings and events need to think about the potential risk from COVID-19 because:

• There is a risk that people attending your meeting or event might unwittingly bring the COVID-19 virus to the meet-

ing and others being unknowingly exposed to COVID-19.

• While COVID-19 is a mild disease for most people, it can make some very ill. Around 1 in every 5 people who are

sickened with COVID-19 will require hospitalization.

Key considerations to prevent or reduce COVID-19 risks BEFORE the meeting or event include:

• Contact the appropriate (or designated) authorities in the community where you plan to hold the event or meeting to

ensure it is safe or appropriate to do so.

• Develop and agree upon a preparedness plan to prevent infection at your meeting or event.

• Consider whether a face-to-face meeting or event is needed. Could it be replaced by a teleconference, online or virtu-

al event?

• Could the meeting or event be scaled down or offered in multiple sessions to fewer people?

• Pre-order supplies and materials, including tissues and hand sanitizer for all participants. Have surgical masks available

to offer anyone who develops respiratory symptoms. In general, educational program participants should provide

their own PPE.

• Actively monitor where COVID-19 is circulating. Advise participants in advance that if they have any symptoms or

feel unwell, they should not attend.

• Make sure all organizers, participants, caterer’s and visitors at the event provide contact details: mobile telephone

number, email and address where they are staying. State clearly that their details will be shared with local public

health authorities if any participant becomes ill with a suspected infectious disease. If they will not agree to this, they

cannot attend the event or meeting.

Key considerations to prevent or reduce COVID-19 risks DURING the meeting or event include:

• Provide information or a briefing, preferably both orally and in writing, on COVID-19 and the measures that organiz-

ers are taking to make this event safe for participants in program announcements.

• Remind participants as they enter to utilize ways to greet others without touching.

• Encourage regular handwashing or use of an alcohol rub by all participants at the meeting or event.

• Encourage participants to cover their face with the bend of their elbow or a tissue if they cough or sneeze. Supply

tissues and closed bins to dispose of them in.

• Display dispensers of alcohol-based hand rub prominently around the venue.

• If there is space, arrange seats so that participants are at least six feet apart.

• Open windows and doors whenever possible to make sure the venue is well ventilated.

• If anyone starts to feel unwell, follow your preparedness plan.

• Depending on the situation in your area, or recent travel of the participant, place the person in the isolation room.

Offer the person a mask so they can get home safely, if appropriate, or to a designated assessment facility.

• Thank all participants for their cooperation with the provisions in place.

Key considerations to prevent or reduce COVID-19 risks AFTER the meeting or event include:

• In keeping with existing policy, retain the names and contact details of all participants through documented sign in

sheets.

• If someone at the meeting or event was isolated as a suspected COVID-19 case, the organizer should let all partici-

pants know this. They should be advised to monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days and take their temperature

twice a day.

• If they develop even a mild cough or low-grade fever they should stay at home and self-isolate. This means avoiding

close contact (6-FEET or nearer) with other people, including family members. They should also telephone their

healthcare provider or the local public health department, giving them details of their recent travel and symptoms.

• Thank all the participants for their cooperation with the provisions.
