Dear 4-H Families,
We are off to the races with the San Benito County Fair starting today. The kids have worked, so hard to get the animals and 4-H youth still exhibits ready for fair. We are proud of all the kids in our 4-H program for all their hard work and efforts.
We have experienced many leaders and parents having disagreements with each other starting at the Monterey fair. The disagreements have grown while continuing to San Benito Fair time. We have to remember this 4-H program is one big family with many different personalities. We all have one thing in common, the children's best interest at heart.
When you chose to argue with another 4-H leader and 4-H parent you are effecting your child and the other children in our 4-H program in a negative and stressful way. It effect the performance of our 4-H youth in the livestock show ring and outside the show ring. These children deserve the respect from the leader and parents to conduct themselves in a respectable matter at fair and 4-H events.
We all started our children in 4-H to teach them to work together as a team, build life skills and give back to the community. By us as adults arguing with each other, we are causing a great deal of stress with bad examples of behavior in front of our children and other children in the 4-H program. Let stop this bad behavior now and put our disagreement to the side for the greater good.
