Check This Out! CYFERnet Travel Bug Race - Want to explore the planet vicariously and win a prize along the way? Then don't miss the second-annual CYFERnet Travel Bug Race. This month, youth and adult teams can start touring the globe via their Travel Bug: a metal tag that allows contestants to follow their "hitchhiker" trinket.
Hitchhikers may include everything from silver coins to plush penguins. A feature of Geocaching--the GPS-based adventure game--contestants place their trinket in an official geocache, register online and track their Travel Bug as it moves from cache to cache (i.e. logbook to logbook, place to place) in the real world. The more miles your bug travels, the greater your chances of winning!

The National Collegiate 4-H Organization - has recently published their new website: http://www.collegiate4h.org. Collegiate 4-H offers college students an experience after high school of volunteering with 4-H youth, serving their communities, and growing as a young 4-H volunteer leader. Collegiate 4-H is a nationwide program that can be implemented at any college campus.
Collegiate 4-H's website helps in providing resources in starting or finding a Collegiate 4-H club at any school (in any state!) and providing ideas for providing leadership to county, local, and state 4-H programs.
Collegiate 4-H is open to all college students who wish to support youth and the 4-H program. It is not necessary to have prior 4-H experience, only to have an interest in the 4-H ideals and in serving your community.

For more information about the Hancock County 4-H Program, please contact Jen Lobley, 4-H Youth Development Educator at 1-800-287-1542, email: jlobley@umext.maine.edu or Norma Hardison, 4-H Program Aide at 1-800-287-1479, email: normah@umext.maine.edu.
