Folklife, Day 1; A Commentary

Today, we arrived at the 35th Annual Northwest Folklife Festival at around noon. It was still warm and sunny at that point. Gene parked in a handicapped spot (legally) in a church parking lot. Jack, Gene, and I walked around Folklife, familiarized ourselves with the surroundings, and procured three VIP buttons (they get you into the hospitality tent... which had no food, but lots of sodas and a Sobe Adrenaline Energy Drink or 5.

We then went back to Gene's car to grab film equipment, and the Priest noticed us and made Gene move the car... oops! So then we went and did a few interviews... none of us had remembered to bring headphones, so Jack unwittingly plugged the mic into the headphone jack.... OOPS. Luckily for me, the built in mic picked up most of the interviews, even if it picked up just about as much background noise as well... we can clean up the audio in Final Cut Pro.

Then we met up with Lucie, and she did an interview with an artist, and this time Jack had headphones, and by this time had realized his mistake... so that interview came out with wonderful sound quality!

We then went over to the KOMO 4 Headquarters, right across the street from Folklife. We were shown into a conference room right behind the front desk, which has security guards posted at all times, through a door that requires their pass to open. We get this room to ourselves for the entire weekend, so we don't have to haul the computers around. As we were heading towards the building, it started raining.

As soon as the rain let up, Jack and I headed back out to redo some of the film that we couldn't salvage from before (and Gene went home). Before we did that, however, I interviewed Irena, a face painter. After I wrapped that up, she offered to paint my face (Jack filmed it) for free. It ended up looking a little more detailed than the camera could capture, but here is the photo, taken on the cell phone and e-mailed to my flickr account:



So the last couple interviews I do, and that includes the intro, which I had to redo, have me with a painted face.

We then walked around and found a few other interesting things, one of which is a band made up of 14, 15, and 16-year-old members, called The Neons, who were incredibly good for their age. Their website can be found here. Then we proceeded to walk back towards the KOMO headquarters and came across what looked like a Pakistani wedding dance, Artis the Spoonman with a guitarist/singer whose last name is Paige, according to Jack, and a R&B dance group in their early teens. Only at Folklife would you be able to find such a large variety of music in one 10 minute walk.

How to Start a 4-H Club

1. Organize your club at the first meeting. If convenient, you may want a separate session for parents. If not, certainly
invite parents to the first organizational club meeting. Tell the parents that their help is needed. (4-H leaders are not merely baby-sitters!) Encourage parents to attend meetings and to become involved whenever and however possible.

It’s usually best to make specific requests for help from individuals, based on their interests and abilities. However, under no circumstances should adult involvement in the club overshadow member participation!

2. What to do at the first meeting (or shortly thereafter):

A. Describe available 4-H projects to the members (those you’re willing to lead). Ask members to select, or at least begin to think about, projects to be carried by the club.

B. Encourage members to choose or begin to think about a name for the club. (Refer to Selecting a Name for Your 4-H Club.)

C. Devise/approve a basic 4-H club constitution. (Refer to Devising a 4-H Club Constitution.)

D. Ask for nominations and elect officers for the club.
Depending on the size and type of club, typical officers might include: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, and recreation leader. You aren’t limited to these positions and also may not need all of them. Many clubs seem to operate fine with a president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. (See 4-H Club Officers Make the Meeting.)

E. Ask all members and leaders to fill out the appropriate registration forms, which your county 4-H staff will provide for you. (See Appendix B & C for samples.) Be sure all are complete! You should deliver or send these forms to the county 4-H office as soon as possible. This information is needed for these reasons:

1. Members and leaders are placed on a 4-H mailing list to receive regular 4-H newsletters and other important information.

2. As a tax-assisted organization, certain membership information is required for reports to the government.

3. Some county-wide 4-H organizations participate in or sponsor basic accident insurance coverage for enrolled 4-H members.

F. As members join your club, give them a copy of Wel- come to 4-H! A guide for new 4-H members and their parents. (See Appendix E.) Copies are available from your county 4-H office.

G. Decide on a regular club meeting schedule, which includes date, time, and place.

5. Obtain necessary materials for 4-H project(s), such as member and leader/project guides and project record books if
necessary (from your county 4-H office if available).

6. If you want more members for your club than you have been able to recruit, let your county 4-H staff know. The staff
can write news releases to help recruit additional members, or you can write one yourself. See How to Write a News Re-
lease. Recruiting can also be done through the 4-H newsletter and other methods.
