May flowers….or so the saying goes. However, as I write this newsletter, we have had nothing but mere sprinkles and a whole lot of WIND. I’m sure we will all be grateful for a gentle breeze on the hot summer days, however, I’m ready for those wind to take a leave of absence!
Just like flowers need rain to blossom, our 4-H’ers need nurturing to grow. As we continue through this year and start looking at the year ahead, we should pay attention to what can our youth teach others and what can they do to help the community in which they live.
Speaking of giving back, 48 Hours of 4-H is schedule for Oct. 8th and 9th, 2016. While this does fall into the next 4-H Year, planning for this should start soon! As a club, start taking a look at and identifying community service activities youth can do. How can they volunteer in their community?
April also brings nearer the May 1 enrollment deadline to be eligible to participate in the County Fair! May 1 is also the add/drop deadline. If you have not finished up your enrollment you will want to do that ASAP! Don’t wait until the last minute! All enrollments, project additions and drops is completed online at https://ks.4honline.com
If you have any questions, give our office a call at (316) 321-9660. May 1 also brings many other deadlines. Make sure and read the newsletter carefully for those important deadlines!
I also want to give a huge shout out to those that participated in and helped with Regional 4-H Day. You all represented Butler County well! Good Job and Thank you!
