Paul Merrill Memorial Fund – Applications Due May 1st<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

Paul E. Merrill 4-H Memorial Fund was established as a memorial to Paul E. Merrill who passed away April, 1982. Mr. Merrill firmly believed in the merits of the 4-H program and in the character-building qualities of learning to care for and raise livestock. This fund is a splendid way to carry on the beliefs of Mr. Merrill and in doing so, encourage youth to grow in character and ability as Mr. Merrill had done. It is designed to provide financial aid for projects to 4-H livestock clubs or 4-H members with livestock projects. The application deadline is May 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

For more information and an application, please visit the\u00a0Paul Merrill Memorial Fund page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Virtual Volunteer Opportunity – VOCALiD 4-H Voice Drive\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A virtual volunteering opportunity for anyone interested in science, technology, healthcare, medicine, or community service. VOCALiD and the human voicebank is an organization that provides custom voices to people who use augmentative and alternative communication devices. VOCALiD relies on volunteers of all ages and from all over the country and world, to record their voices as they read aloud from different short texts. They then use technology, (explained in this TED Talk<\/a>), to use those recorded voices to create custom, regionally, and age appropriate voices for people who use assistive technology to communicate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recording your voice for the human voicebank is a great way to make a positive difference in someone’s life. The All Star Dairy 4-H club is leading this voice-drive, which runs until May 15th. They have set a goal of 3,500 sentences, and would be so grateful to anyone who would like to help them reach their goal! Any sentences recorded using the link below will go towards their 4-H voice-drive. More about the human voicebank can be found in the initiative pamphlet linked below, and step by step instructions for how to record your voice can be found in the voice banking guide below. Please contact 4-Her Fiona Larsson at fflarsson123@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0with any questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
