Club Managers/Leaders Meeting

The club managers and project leaders will meet at the county Extension office at 6:30 pm on August 14, to discuss the county 4-H event calendar for the new year.

The 4-H year is gearing up for the new year and you may have a few new faces at your club meetings. I hope that you will join me in giving a big 4-H welcome to those new folks!! As experienced members, I hope that you will help me to make new families feel welcome throughout the year.

Here are some suggestions to help new families through that confusing first year in 4-H.

☺  Explain things as they happen throughout the year.

☺ Make sure new families know that it’s alright to ask questions. 

☺  Advise new families of deadlines. Explain the major events that happen in 4-H such as county fair, record books, etc.

☺  Let new families participate at their own pace.  Involve them in activities, but allow them to participate at a level they feel comfortable.
