A Resolution proclaiming April 19, 2011, as the 15th Annual 4-H Day at the State Capitol; recognizing 4-H as the largest youth-serving organization in the state; and encouraging all Oklahomans to learn more about 4-H.

WHEREAS, for the past 102 years, 4-H in Oklahoma has been helping young people learn leadership, citizenship and life skills; and

WHEREAS, 4-H is the largest youth-serving organization in Oklahoma, reaching over 222,000 youth and 5,000 volunteers; it aids in the development of the Head, Heart, Hands and Health of every member; and

WHEREAS, 4-H as part of the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service provided by Langston University and Oklahoma State University, is a program whose mission is to help youth learn together through various kinds of projects, events and activities focusing around their mission mandates addressing Citizenship, Healthy Living, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; and

WHEREAS, members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives believe the achievement of these missions results in youth becoming capable, competent, and caring citizens who practice behaviors that will enable them to become self-directing, productive, and contributing members of society.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 1ST SESSION OF THE 53RD OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:

THAT Tuesday, April 19, 2011, is hereby proclaimed as the “15th Annual 4-H Day” at the State Capitol.

THAT all Oklahomans are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to become more aware of this special youth-serving organization: an organization which gives youth the chance to learn independently and together, as well as recognizes the unique partnership between our county, state and federal governments and our Land-Grant University System.

Adopted by the House of Representatives the 19th day of April, 2011.
