The new 4-H year is underway and some clubs have already started turning in enrollment forms. Reminder to 4-H members planning to show livestock projects in 2010 … be sure to have your enrollment forms, with livestock projects marked, turned in to the Extension Office by January 5, 2010. This will assist the Extension Office in getting important information to 4-H members about their livestock projects.

I would like to thank everyone who promoted 4-H during National 4-H Week. It was great to see all the pride that Mason County 4-H members, families and volunteers showed.

We welcome many new 4-H families to our program this time of year. This newsletter is our way of communicating with every 4-H family in Mason County. Please read it, and make note of dates that apply to your family. As always call us at (309) 543-3308 if we can help you in any way to get more out of 4-H.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season,

Christine Belless, Community Worker
