4-H Online Enrollment System

Paper enrollment is a thing of the past.

You will not be able to enroll until after

October 1st. If you have any questions

about this please contact the Extension

office. Don’t forget your participation

form is now online. Please be sure to

take time to complete this as well. Your

leaders will have informational bro-

chures available to be of assistance for

the online process.

National 4-H Week

October 7th-14th is celebrated as 4-H

week across the nation. This is a great

time to shine as a 4Her. Take the time

to display the accomplishments and

knowledge you have gained through

your membership in 4-H. Go out into

the community and promote Haskell

County 4-H!!!!

Achievement Banquet

The Haskell County 4-H Achievement Ban-

quet will be held on Saturday, November

10th at 5:30 p.m. at the Haskell County Com-

mercial Building. 4Hers will be awarded for

their accomplishments throughout the whole

4-H year. 4-H families, leaders, volunteers,

and extended family are invited to attend. A

meal will be provided. Please contact your

club leaders if you are willing to help provide

what was assigned to your club. Please re-

member this is a banquet and dress should

be your Sunday best.

4-H County-wide Project Leaders

Do YOU have an interest or knowledge base

in a particular project? Do YOU want to be-

come more involved in your child’s learning

and help other 4-Hers in the process? Haskell

County 4-H is in desperate need of county-

wide project leaders! Many project areas

thrive under the leadership of an adult volun-

teer and/or teen leader. 4-H’ers enrolled in

projects that do not have a project leader are

left to “self-teach” and “self-Study” that top-

ic. Please consider serving in this vitally im-

portant roll. Anyone wishing to do so must

contact the Extension office to become VIP

certified before holding project meetings.
