Greene County 4-H Monthly Update |
|
I want to start off by saying THANK YOU Greene County 4-H, for allowing me to be a part of this awesome program for the past almost 2 years. For those who haven't heard yet, my last day as the Greene County 4-H Agent is June 30th. My husband has taken a new job and our family will be relocating to Alma, Arkansas in July. This was a difficult decision to make, but it will get us back closer to our families. I have enjoyed getting to work with the youth in Greene County 4-H and build relationships with the volunteers that help make this program great. I have loved getting to watch these kids grow and develop the life skills 4-H teaches them.

Everyone must re-enroll in RegPack for 2021! Below is the link to the enrollment site. Please log in and update family information. It is very important to double-check information such as member age, grade level, email, phone number, and t-shirt size. You will also be asked to add your district, which would be the Delta District. You must also re-sign the medical form, code of conduct, equine release form, shooting sports release form, and media release form. You will not be able to register for an event until this has been done. If you haven't already re-enrolled, make sure to do so soon!
