Friday 4-H Nugget

Greetings 4-H Community,

October is right around the corner which means it is almost time to enroll in 4-H. We are excited to have a new year starting soon. A Special Edition 4-H Nugget will be sent out on October 1st with announcements about 4-H Enrollment for the upcoming year. Please be sure to read over the different articles below for the latest 4-H information.

We also want to give a shout out to the 4-H Members who will be competing at the Area X Livestock Skillathon Contest next week in Porter County. We will post results in the next newsletter.

All the best,

Robby Kelly & Sthele Greybar

Volunteer Update

A couple of reminders for our Volunteers... The date for our leader banquet will be on October 27 in the ECCC. A formal invitation will be mailed out shortly.

Our first leaders training of the year will be October 18 at 7:00 PM. At 6:00 PM that same night we will be hosting the in-person version of the trainings all volunteers need to complete as part of the enrollment process. It is important that you complete this training either online or in person. We will only be hosting two in-person versions. The second in-person training will be held Thursday, January 19, 2023.

Power the Polls!

There is currently a record shortage of poll workers. In 2022, you can make sure we have a safe, fair, and efficient election for all!

The Hoosier Hall Pass poll worker recruitment program enables 16- and 17-year-old students a "live" experience of democracy in action on Election Day. This program provides an opportunity for students to learn about democracy, to actively participate in their community and work to support free and fair elections in Indiana.
