4-H Top 4 for the week of May 17


Good morning everyone.  Hope all the folks who have Mother monikers out there had a great Mother's day.  

-May 18 we will be starting a new SPIN Club for our 5-8 year olds-Cooking with Ms. JoJo.  This club will be held virtually for about an hour on Tuesdays, for six weeks starting at 5:30.  Youth will have a chance to cook with Ms. JoJo and learn about eating healthier, making smart eating choices, and just have a good time.  This is part of our EFNEP (Expanded Foods and Nutrition Education Program) with a SPIN on it.  So if they have done EFNEP before they will have a whole new arsenal of cooking opportunities. You can register in the app under programs or by clicking this link https://forms.gle/SEqYrkDkkGgWFjYG7.  Please note to take part in this program the 4-H member must be active in 4-H Online.   You have until noon today to register.  If you need assistance with this please contact Wendy Maynor at wrmaynor@ncsu.edu.  She can help walk you through it.   

-Saturday May 22 will be our first in person face to face training opportunity for our 4-H adult volunteers.  The SE District Volunteers will be hosting a Spring Day from 10-2 at the NC Cooperative Extension Wayne County Center.  We will have a business meeting, workshops on a variety of topics, and a picnic lunch.  Due to COVID restrictions travel will be on your own.  Registration is available on the 4-H app or you can go to this link:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/se-district-spring-day-tickets-154705870423    For more information about this opportunity please contact Shea Ann DeJarnette at sadejarn@ncsu.edu.

-4-H Citizenship North Carolina Focus is ready for registration.  It is only open to the first 200 4-H members, statewide, between the ages of 14-18 that register.  This is an awesome experience to learn about government, attend workshops, and meet lawmakers.  This is also a great state event to have on your resume if you want to compete in ARIE or apply for Honor Club.  There is a $30 fee for the event and this includes your t-shirt and conference materials.  Thanks to our United Way funds you will only need to pay $15.  IF you register and do not attend you will be expected to reimburse us for the remainder of the fee.  The event will take place June 14-16.  The deadline to register is May 25.  For more information and to register please check it out on our app under programs or you can click this link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2021-4-h-citizenship-nc-focus-robeson-county-tickets-155127732223

That is all we have today.  Hope you have a great week!
