On July 28, 2016 fourteen members heard a presentation from Charity Rotinski regarding 4-H and her home-schooled 4-H Club, West Plains Kidz and Chickz.  She explained that 4-H stands for Head, Heart, Health and Hands.  Clubs focus on STEM education, political awareness and arts as well as livestock and other activities.  There have been 4-H clubs in Spokane County since 1902 and 81% of the kids who stay in 4-H through high school go on to post-secondary education.  She explained that project management is one of the skills that 4-H members learn:  they keep records, do budgets, give presentations about their projects and learn goal setting and develop confidence through their activities.  She also spoke about her own special needs kids and how she worked to have the Spokane Interstate Fair modify its rules so special needs kids could participate in livestock showing.  She also talked about the Junior Livestock show and how its sale provides funds for 4-H members; unfortunately it is struggling financially and its future is uncertain.
