We had six 4-H leaders take the time to attend Rotary 4-H Leader Training on March 20 at the St. Joseph County fairgrounds. Attending from Kosciusko County were Forrest Bouse, Jane Demske, Jim Demske, Thames Goon, Sue Stidams and Linda Stroup. The efforts of these volunteers to improve themselves to better serve our 4-H youth is greatly appreciated. This year’s program was entitl‘The Secret of Dialogue.” The program was presented by the Purdue Cooperative Extension youth professionals from Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall and St. Joseph counties. The program featured the eight steps of effective dialogue, how to positively influence self-esteem development and an informative presentation by Dr. Robert Taylor from the Agricultural Economics Department at Purdue University. This training program was sponsored cooperatively by the Rotary Clubs International and the Cooperative Extension Service. This year marked the 51st. year that the two sponsoring groups have teamed up to make local 4-H volunteer leader training a reality. Rotary support of this activity is greatly appreciated. 4-H Calendar March 21 — Rocket meeting. 7 pm.

SISTERS WIN BEAUTY CONTEST — Steve and Brenda Charlton of Knapp Lake were surprised and delighted when their three daughters, from left, Kyla, Casey, and Courtney each grabbed first place rankings in the National New Star Discovery regional pageant held in Warsaw this past December. The girls, now ages 7,3, and I' 2 , are preparing to compete in the state finals to be held May 11-12-13 in Indianapolis. Brenda said the couple has tentative plans to enter Kyla, who judges from the NNSD pageant said could win the state pageant, in the model search, angel face and western wear categories. Casey will probably be entered in swimsuit, angel face and western wear, and little Courtney will most likely compete in the play wear, angel face and product introduction categories. Each of the girls received a trophy and a tiara for winning the regional pageant but will be competing for savings bonds in the amount of $2,500 each, at the state pageant. Proud grandparents of the three girls are Bill and Marlene Charlton, and Larry and Eva Spangle, all of North Webster.
