Here’s your chance to support Guernsey youth

If you remember the thrill of owning your first calf, the excitement of competing in showmanship contests and the camaraderie of judging competition, here’s your chance to give back to Guernsey youth programs.

 

Plans are underway for silent and live auctions at this summer’s National Guernsey Convention, with proceeds supporting the future of our breed. The silent auction will be held throughout the day on Thursday, June 20, culminating with a live auction during the youth banquet that evening.  We hope you’ll help us by donating auction items to make this important fundraiser a success. 

 

Here are just a few ideas of items you might either donate yourself or solicit from organizations in your area. But any donations are welcome! 

·         Guernsey-themed item

·         Historic Guernsey memorabilia

·         Artwork

·         Quilt

·         Spa basket

·         Farm toy

·         T-shirt, cap or other wearable item

·         Guernsey semen or embryo

·         Show halter

·         Gift certificate or gift card

 

To help us plan an adequate display area for auction items at the convention, please let us know by June 1 what you plan to donate. You may register your planned donation on this easy-to-use online form: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0848A4AB2FA1F4C70-48178730-youth

 

Or if you prefer, email klpotratz@gmail.com or call 262-470-3709 with this information. You may either ship donated items to the address below by June 15, or bring them with you to the convention.

 

All monies raised from the auctions will support the American Guernsey Association Youth Fund. The Youth Fund makes possible these important programs and activities for the future leaders of our breed:

·         Outstanding Guernsey Youth Award

·         National Guernsey Youth Scholarship

·         National Junior Show awards such as the Junior Total Performance Cow Banner

·         Contests such as Prepared Speaking

·         Awards for top Guernsey judges at five different judging contests

·         Showmanship awards

·         Youth pages in the Guernsey Breeders’ Journal

·         Travel reimbursements for the National Guernsey Queen and National Guernsey Princess

 

On behalf of Guernsey youth everywhere, thank you for your help! If you have questions contact Karen Potratz or the AGA office at ralden@usguernsey.com.

 

Sincerely,

Silent Auction Co-Chairs

This innovative game is popular. Visit the Playtime toy factory in run 3. The lost employee's fate must be solved. Retaliation toys abound. Try to dodge capture and survive.

That's a great initiative! Supporting Guernsey youth is so important, and finding ways to engage them can make a big difference. One fun way to connect with the younger generation is through activities they enjoy, like playing online games. Platforms like poki games offer a range of interactive options that can help them relax and unwind while staying engaged. It's all about finding balance and giving them the right support!
