4-H Enrollment Again for 2016/2017 year we will be using the 4-H Online program to enroll members. 4-H Online is a secure database that has been in use for quite a few years now in Colorado. Families will need to login to the 4-H Online site and complete the enrollment process. All counties will be providing very specific instructions, but don’t hesitate to ask for help. Also, if you do not have access to a com-puter or would like to have our help we can schedule a time to help you enroll at your Extension office. Members and volunteer leaders need to complete all parts of the online enrollment process, including adding online signatures for:
Animal Care and Housing Form (if applicable)
Permission to Participate
Photo Denial (only check & sign if you don’t want to allow photos)
Code of Conduct
Health Form.
You will not have to print anything off UNLESS you are not housing your animals at your home in which case you will need to download and fill out the animal housing form and return to the Extension Office by the enrollment deadline.
Counties may have county specific forms that you still must sign and turn in.
To complete your enrollment, you must pay club fees as set by your county following the county process. Enrollment deadline is February 1 in Cheyenne County, March 1 in Baca, Bent, Crowley, Kiowa, Otero and Prowers Counties.
The Colorado State University 4-H Office has put together some excellent resources on 4-H Online. The link to these resources is https://www.colorado4h.org/ye/.
District VI Senate Meeting The District VI Fall meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 20th, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. It will be held at the Bent County Extension Office in Las Animas. We will be discussing LDC, camp scholarships, reviewing by-laws, and planning yearly District activities. Each county should be sending their newly elected 2016/2017 Senators.
Catch-a-Calf Contest The Catch-a-Calf Contest will celebrate its 80th year during the 2017 National Western Stock Show. 4-H members ages 12 and up (as of December 31st, 2016) are encouraged to apply for this year’s catches. Members will participate in a catch during one of the rodeos and 40 successful participants will receive a steer. They will pick-up their steer in May and return it for exhibition at the 2018 Nation-al Western Stock Show. For more information and an application see your local extension office or go to http://www.nationalwestern.com/livestock-shows/catch-a-calf-contest/.

4H Online – Email Blasts
From time to time the State office will be sending emails directly to the 4-H members. It is the easiest and most effective way to communicate important State events and requirements. We know that not everyone particularly enjoys the extra emails and there have been requests to be unsubscribed. It is important to know that if you do that, you would not receive any re-enrollment emails or information the County office sends directly to you. Please do not “unsubscribe.”
