Friday 4-H Nugget

Greetings 4-H Community,

Happy Friday of National 4-H Week and the first week of 4-H Enrollment for the 2023/2024 program year! I am sure many of you have been following our social media channels and sharing the great posts.

All 4-H members and adult volunteers need to complete their 4-H Online enrollment every year. Please pay attention to the clubs and projects that you select and make sure that your email addresses are updated. If you need any assistance with enrollment be sure to reach out and any of our support staff will be happy to assist.

All the best,

Robby Kelly, Sthele Greybar & Corey Sharp
