4-H Club Meeting Lesson:

Nonverbal Communication

Many people believe what they say is all they are saying. In actuality, your body language can say more than the words that are being spoken. According to www.businessdictonary.com the definition of nonverbal behavior is, “Behavior and elements of speech aside from the words themselves that transmit meaning.” Non-verbal communication includes pitch, speed, tone and volume of voice, gestures, facial expressions, body posture, stance, and proximity to the listener, eye movement and contact, and dress and appearance. Research suggests that only 5 percent effect is produced by the spoken word, 45 percent by the tone, inflexion, and other elements of voice, and 50 percent by body language, movements, eye contact, etc.

At this month’s club meetings, we will put this theory to the test as members will experiment with different nonverbal communication cues and reflect on the reactions they get.

4-H Online Enrollment

4-H enrollment has changed this year to 4-H Online. It’s easy to enroll online by creating your own family profile and adding family members as 4-Hers or volunteers. Click the button How to Enroll in 4-H Online for Cameron Parish for step-by-step instructions on how to enroll.

All 4-Hers belonging to their school club must pay their school $10 club dues to join. All of our camp and event registration will take place in this system. If you’re having trouble accessing the website or completing an enrollment, we have a desktop computer in our office available.

Junior Leader Club

Junior Leaders will need to have a parent or adult 21+ work a minimum 1-hour shift for them at the gate of the Fur and Wildlife Festival in Cameron on Saturday January 14 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. This is a fundraiser for our club! Candy money should be turned in to the 4-H Office by February 6 Meeting.
