Sioux County News!
April 2016
Dear 4-H Families and Friends,
April 10-16 marks National Volunteer Week. Adult volunteers are huge contributors to the success of our 4-H program in Sioux County. Think of a way that you can thank your 4-H leader or volunteer for all that they give to make the 4-H program in Sioux County great!
Please, as always, thoroughly read the newsletter so there are no missed opportunities or deadlines!
Sincerely,
Honna Brown, County Youth Coordinator
