Rule Change Review – Tuesday, March 31, 2020 @ NCJLS Board Meeting Rule Change Vote – Tuesday, April ??, 2020 @ NCJLS Board Meeting

GENERAL

RULE CHANGE FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS TO SHOW: Good morning, My husband and I have been hosting foreign exchange students for the past 18 years. The foreign exchange students (from over 30 different countries) are between the ages of 15 and 18, and attend high schools in the districts of their volunteer host families. These students are here under a program supervised by the US Department of State. The purpose of their exchange year is to promote understanding between people of our different countries. The students are not allowed to hold a job while they are here, but they can accept money for odd jobs like baby sitting or mowing lawns. They are here with a special type of cultural exchange Visa called a J1 Visa. This Visa is for one school year and cannot be renewed nor extended. These students have never had the opportunity to raise and show animals. They learn responsibility, and people relations skills when they raise and show the animals. When the other club members help them, they develop friendships and share information about their home countries. The exchange students are amazed that people will pay such high prices for the animal projects or sometimes just for the ribbon. Writing the invitation letters to prospective buyers, and writing thank you letters to buyers and add on contributors teaches them life skills that will go with them as they progress into adulthood. Learning to shake hands and speak with respect to prospective buyers teaches them valuable life skills, also. I respectfully request that these foreign exchange students be allowed to raise and show animals at the NCJLS 2021 and thereafter. Due to the IRS requirement which states that amounts of $600 or greater must be reported to the IRS, I propose that the foreign exchange students be given up to $599 for their projects, and any amount over this amount be donated to the general scholarship fund.. The students will not have social security numbers, so perhaps their passport numbers could be used for identification. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please contact me if I can provide any additional information. Sincerely, Cathy Pierce My cell: 361-739-9988

I am requesting the approval of the change of the following rule:

General Rule #8 currently states that: All entry forms must have the exhibor’s Social security number on the entry(s) or they will not be accepted.

I am requesting that the rule be changed to state that: All entry forms that include entry of a market animal project must have the exhibor’s Social security number on the entry(s) or they will not be accepted.

Page 50

If an exhibitor does not have a social security number due to a special circumstance then they will only be allowed to enter & exhibit an entry that does not go through the premium sale.

Thanks,

Tiffeny Ranly
