A new video has been posted in support of the 4-H Food Challenge. The video features an item-by-item demonstration of what goes in every Food Challenge box. You can share this with 4-H members and leaders to help/guide them in assembling their Supply Box.
Thanks to Nora Garza in Hidalgo County, and the two 4-H members, Onelisa Garza & Clarissa Olivares , for taking the time to film the video. We hope you find this useful.

New Online Recordbook Keeping System is up and ready!!
This is AWESOME!
This will help out many families, especially those just getting started!
Rah, rah, rah! I love it!
This is GREAT! Very user friendly!
…just a few quotes from Extension Staff training this week!
The new online recordbook system is available NOW for 4-H members to start recording project events & activities for the current 4-H year. The new recordkeeping/recordbook system includes 3 different report forms based on a member's 4-H age. The forms are designed to be age appropriate and user-friendly for youth, hoping to ease the stress and household fights among parents and their kids :o). Only the current year information is required on the forms.
We strongly encourage youth to log on to the system now and start entering project goals, events and activities as they occur. The forms, an instructional guide, and short instructional videos can be accessed at http://4hreports.com .
