Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday. We know many of our youth are still on
Christmas break so if they are bored this is a great time for them to work on
Project Records and Portfolios! Please
see below for more information.
On to the 4-H Top 4….
-4-H Adult Volunteers
the deadline to register and pay for State 4-H Volunteer Leaders’ Conference is
January 2 at noon. This training and
awards ceremony will be held Hilton Durham February 1-2. As in previous years we will pay the
registration fee ($130) for the first 10 volunteers that register and you would
just pay for the room ($55 per night double occupancy-$110 for single). For
more information on this fabulous training and networking opportunity please click
on this link to see the flyer. For
more information about this program contact Shea Ann DeJarnette at Shea_Ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu or
(910) 671-3276. To register and pay
please come by and see Jessie Jones.
Gentle reminder we take checks or money orders only.
-January 7thth
is our first SPIN Club of the Year. From
9 am-3 pm youth will meet to learn and work on Project Records and
Portfolios. Youth will have a chance
to sit down with volunteers and 4-H staff to learn about the process and get
their records off to a huge start and finish.
We will have lunch for the youth taking part that day. To sign up for the SPIN CLUB opportunity
please call our office at (910) 671-3276 or email Jessie Jones at
Jessie_Jones@ncsu.edu. Please note January 10th is the
deadline for project records and portfolios. This is a written record of what our youth
have learned over the past year. I would
encourage all youth to turn in a record book.
The
templates for the books can be found here.
You will find them under downloadable forms. Please remember this is based on your 4-H Age
for 2019 (how old you were on January 1, 2019) so please do not use your
chronological age because most of you are a year older since then. For those of you wondering, a project book is
work done over the last year in any area.
Youth can turn in one project record book in each subject area. Portfolios are like project records except
they compile three years’ worth of work in a single topic area. Essentially you combine three project records
to make one portfolio. Please turn your record books into Wendy
Maynor by 5 pm on January 10th.
If you have any questions about this program please contact Wendy at
(910) 671-3276 or Wendy_Maynor@ncsu.edu.
-January 9th
we have new 4-H volunteer training scheduled at 6:30 pm at the office. This is for all our first-time volunteers and
any veteran volunteers who feel they need a refresher. Of course, we will have a light meal for
those who attend so please contact Jessie Jones or Wendy Maynor at (910)
671-3276 to register by January 6th.
Volunteers please note you need at least two hours of training a year to
maintain your 4-H Volunteer Status. The State Volunteer Leaders Conference will
cover that two hours and any
of our trainings offered through the year (just click on the link to pull
up the schedule) will also help you maintain your status. For more information about Volunteer
Trainings please contact any member of the 4-H staff at (910) 671-3276.
-January 21 is the
deadline to turn in Scholarships and Honor Club applications to our office. Please
check our website for downloadable applications. Honor Club applications are open for any 4-H
member who is 16 and over and has been a 4-H member for at least three
years. Scholarships are for 4-H members
who are seniors in High School and plan to attend a two or four-year
institution. Please note you fill out
one application and check off all the scholarships you are applying for. Applicants need to read the descriptions
carefully to make sure it applies to them.
Also, if you are applying for 4-H scholarships you need to go ahead and
request a sealed copy of your transcripts now so you will have them in time to
turn in your application to us January 21. Please turn in Honor Club and Scholarships to
Shea Ann DeJarnette by 5 pm on the 21.
For questions please contact Shea Ann at (910) 671-3276 or
Shea_Ann_DeJarnette@ncsu.edu.
Just a reminder that our office will be closed New Year’s
Day.
Our 4-H calendar for 2020 is online at http://robeson4-h.blogspot.com/ if you would like to see some of the
upcoming programs and make plans for 2020.
Again, thank you for making 4-H the best that it can be.
Wendy, Jessie, and Shea Ann
