Good Morning! Welcome to 2021!!!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! Today is National Trivia Day.

Here is some 4-H Trivia:
The 4-H colors are green and white. Green symbolizes nature’s most common color and represents life, springtime, and youth. White symbolizes purity.

4-H was started in 1902 in Clark County Ohio, by A.B. Graham.
Jessie Field Shambaugh developed the clover pin with an H on each leaf in 1910.

              IMPORTANT!

• LEADERS: Please notify me before any club meeting or event you are planning for your club.        
• Please enroll ASAP, this way club leaders know what kids are in their clubs and can plan accordingly. If you have changes once you have submitted your enrollment, please let me know and I will make changes.  
• Council meetings will now be held every other month on the 2^nd Monday of the month at 6:00 pm. The meeting months will be October, December, February, April, June, and August. Kids will now be required to attend 4 of these meetings. These meetings will be used to conduct Council business and then are also going to be more of an educational format to help improve leadership, team building, Parliamentary Procedure, etc.

• On the off months (Nov, Jan, Mar, May, July) we will hold Council officer team meetings to work on team building, improve knowledge on individual offices, build the agenda, discuss items of business, etc. With these changes my hope is to bring more involvement from the officer team to create an outstanding team, that all kids would like to be a part of.

• Also on the off months we would like to offer some workshops to help introduce kids to the general arts projects side of 4-H. There are so many projects that I feel kids are totally missing out on because they are unaware of them. Some will be done by zoom some will be in person.
