Good morning!
For those of you who are familiar with the 4-H Top 4 we are
about to have some adjustments. For
those of you not familiar with our top 4 let me give a brief explanation.
Our 4-H Top 4 are the reminders of upcoming programs and
opportunities, who to talk with about questions, and what you need to do to
register you or your child for these programs.
Although we strive to do this weekly there have been some
gaps since July due to summer programming and a change in how we send out our
weekly reminders. We are using 4-H Online
which is the new statewide enrollment system.
Thanks to this program we can now send emails to every family registered
for 4-H, run reports to see who received it, who didn’t get it, and most
importantly if there was an error determine the error and get it fixed. Right now this is our sticking point. For some reason many of the emails with valid
email addresses are being bounced back to us.
We are working with the state to rectify this. In the meantime we will send out the top 4
via 4-H online, place it on our blog (www.robeson4h.blogpsot.com), and
let folks know it is available through Remind (Robeson County 4-H) . Twitter(@RobesonCounty4H),
Facebook (North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center), and Instagram
(Robeson_4h). We are not trying to drown
you, but we are trying to go the extra mile to make sure we can communicate
with everyone.
That being said, here are your top 4 reminders for this week…..
-4-H Volunteer of the
year nomination forms are due October 30.
A link to the application is included.
Anyone can nominate a deserving adult 4-H volunteer. Please return the nomination to the 4-H
office by close of business on October 30.

have any questions about this program or nomination process please contact Shea
Ann DeJarnette, at (910) 671-3276 or Shea_Ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu.
-Youth and Adults,
your membership and volunteer paperwork must be entered online by November 14
to be recognized at 4-H Achievement Night in December. No Exceptions. If you need assistance with the online
application process please contact Wendy Maynor in advance of the November 14
deadline to sit down with her and have her assist you. The link to register is www.4honline.com. We have been sending out multiple emails,
letters, and notices that this needs to be done. The absolute latest deadline will be November
14. After that folks will be dropped
from the rolls or will not be recognized at the 4-H Achievement night.
-Club Leaders all club
meeting attendance forms are due to the 4-H Office by November 15 at noon. No Exceptions.
This is the absolute latest that we can accept your club paperwork and
still recognize youth for their hard work during the year. For questions please contact Wendy Maynor at
(910) 671-3276 or Wendy_Maynor@ncsu.edu.
-4-H Achievement
Night is a little different this year.
Instead of honoring our volunteers and youth separately we will honor
everyone on one very special night. This
year the event will be held at our office on December 13 at 6:30. Please save the date. This is open to all our youth who took
part in 4-H programing this year and their immediate families, all of our
registered adult volunteers and their spouses or significant others. The night will include dinner, recognition of
those in attendance, and announcements of all the exciting things coming up in
2020. It is a night you won’t want to
miss. We will have more details on this
event soon and wanted to make sure it is on your schedules. To register please call our office and ask
for Jessie or Wendy (910) 671-3276.
That is all for today.
Again thank you for your patience as we try to reach out to everyone make
sure 4-H is not the best kept secret in Robeson County.
Have a great week!
Wendy, Jessie, and Shea Ann
