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. NEW this year—your participa-
tion form is now online. Please be sure
to take time to complete this as well.
Your leaders will have informational
brochures available to be of assistance
for the online process.
National 4-H Week
October 4-10 is celebrated as 4-H week
across the nation. This is a great time to
shine as a 4Her. Take the time to dis-
play 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
14th at 6:30 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.
