Friday 4-H Nugget

Greetings 4-H Community,

Can you believe that February is halfway gone?! Be sure to check out the information below on the most current 4-H Events and program happenings. We want to give a shout-out to the Jacksonian Producers 4-H Club for sharing some great photos of their last meeting. If you are a volunteer and would like to learn more about engaging STEM activities for your club meeting join us on March 18 at 7:00 p.m. in the ECCC-Martin Room.

We are still looking for people to serve as a resource person for projects. If you are interested in sharing your skills with our 4-H members please fill out this form. Speaking of sharing skills, are you interested in hosting a workshop for a project or 4-H members? Take a moment to fill out this form to express your interest.

All the best,

Robby Kelly, Sthele Greybar & Corey Sharp
