COVID-19 Safety Protocols |
|
Below are the current safety guidelines for Butte County 4-H as required by California 4-H.
- Indoor and outdoor meetings under 75 individuals are permitted.
- Masks are required for indoor events.
- Masks are optional at outdoor events, but social distancing is still required.
- These policies apply to all individuals regardless of age or vaccination status.
- Guidelines can be more strict as deemed necessary by local public health agencies, but cannot be less strict than directed by California 4-H.
We do not yet know if the State of California lifting mask mandates in public schools will result in a change in 4-H Policy. If it does, membership will be updated as soon as possible.

Hello everyone,
There is a new Virtual Online Reimbursement Request: click here
You can still use the old Reimbursement Request, but this method makes it very simple to upload pictures of your receipts and process reimbursements quickly.
It was so nice to see so many faces at Fun Night, or maybe it should be called Fun Day this year. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. The Tri-Tip Sandwiches were great. Hats off to the cooks!
Any Club that would like to share what is happening at their Club should sent an article to me by the 30th of each month at the email listed below.
ldarby@buttecounty.net
Enrollment information in 4hOnline can be changed, updated, or deleted information once it has been approved. Everyone needs to check the Emergency Contact for their youth. The person's name that is listed should be different than the Parent/Guardian. They will be contacted only if the Parent/Guardian is unreachable. So please go into 4-H Online and update that i nformation. Here is the website link: https://v2.4honline.com/
Thank you!

Message From Pine Ridge 4-H Club |
|
Pine Ridge 4H Club would like to thank every club who participated and helped make Fun Night possible this year. It was great to be able to have had the event, it being outside was a favorable change. We are working on some upcoming community service events (i.e. Easter celebration petting zoo and the Gold Nugget Parade) Our members are getting ready for the fair, and are especially excited about attending this year. |
|
Fashion Revue is an event for youth who are interested in Clothing & Textiles, Quilting, and Consumer Science projects, but they do not need to be enrolled in a sewing project to compete. This is an opportunity for youth to showcase designs they made and have them be evaluated by members of the sewing community or industry. Not only do youth get evaluated, they get to show off their products to the other youth and 4-H Community during the Fashion Show.
Theme: Boots, Buckles, and Bling
Date: April 9, 2022
Check in Time: 10:00 am
Location: Palermo Community Hall; 2094 Palermo Rd. Palermo, CA 95968

Butte County Cattle Women Organization Scholarship |
|
The Butte County CattleWomen organization is an auxiliary to the Butte County Cattlemen's Association. Beef promotion, consumer education and legislation concerning the beef industry are our major concerns. We want to honor a student who is planning a career in an agricultural related field, preferably (but not required) with an emphasis on beef production and promotion. Any student entering college in the field of agriculture, or currently enrolled in college may apply for this scholarship.
The Butte County CattleWomen will be awarding at least one $1,000.00 (as funds are available) for an Agri-cultural Scholarship to an outstanding student meeting the criteria specified. Additionally, one $500.00 scholar-ship, in memory of Dorothy Moffitt, will be awarded to a Gridley or Biggs 2022 graduating senior that will be enrolling in college in the field of agriculture, at the discretion of the Moffitt family.

To say the least, it's been an interesting fall to finalize our calendar! Nearly all of the dates that we normally have at this time of year are complete.

Tractor Supply Paper Clover |
|
From National 4-H:
I was just notified that Citi is doing the credit card match for both Spring and Fall Paper Clover campaigns this year! In the past it’s been just the fall. That means that using a TSC credit card to make a donation, doubles the donation! This is also huge because anecdotally we see more large purchase (the types of things folks use credit cards on) in the Spring.
Reminder: Spring TSC Paper Clover is April 27th – May 8th

JOANN'S
Spring 2022 Campaign

JOANN would like to engage a few current 4-H’ers and/or alumni to create a project with instructions to share out with their audience of makers. Selected projects may be shared out on JOANN social media channels and promotional materials in the spring of 2022.
Creativity is key and JOANN is open to a variety to projects, but please keep in mind that the most successful projects will be simple in their construction so customers can easily re-create them.
Once a project concept is approved by the JOANN team, they will provide supplies and/or a gift card to cover any project costs. Please click here to see the Creative Briefs on how to write out the project instructions and get the link to submit your entry on the California 4-H webpage.
