We have many 4-H'ers who graduated this year. For those who are going away to college, we want to encourage you to work with your 4-H leader, and try to finish your last year in 4-H. You only need to attend three meetings in a year in order to be eligible to show at either General Project's Day or the Fair. Also, we'd be glad to mail/email you a copy of the 4-H Focus to your college address. Give us a call as soon as you know what your address and email address is, and we will make sure you continue to receive a copy. Good luck, and have a great year!
Theme Ideas
Have a catchy theme or a snazzy slogan for the 2008-2009 4-H year? Well you're in luck! We are currently taking 4-H theme suggestions from YOU; please contact the Extension Office by September 1st with your suggestions!
Leader's Meeting
All 4–H leaders/volunteers are encouraged to attend the July 22nd Leader's Meeting. There will be a 1:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. meeting at the Extension Office. Leader's Award Application packets will be handed out, along with important Fair information. Please make every effort to have your club represented by someone, IT IS THAT IMPORTANT!! If your club has a designated Fair Coordinator, this is the meeting that they should strive to attend.
