4-H Top 4 for the week of September 27, 2021

 


 Its the last week of September!  Welcome Fall! We have some exciting adventures ahead so let's take a moment and read.

-We are excited to announce that our 4-H Animal Science small animal and livestock shows will be taking place in October.  Although the fair was cancelled we are honored that they fair decided to honor the premiums and ribbons for our shows allowing us to have them.  All participants involved in the shows should have received information about the new location and dates.  We appreciate everyone's willingness to adjust to the changes and look forward to seeing our participants at the shows.  If you have any questions please contact Shea Ann DeJarnette at sadejarn@ncsu.edu.

-We have a new SPIN Club 4-H Opportunity.  The Hooks & Needles 4-H Club will focus on teaching 4-H members about crocheting, knitting, and loom knitting.  Youth will meet 4 times (October 13, 14, 20, and 21) from 6:30-8 pm.  They will get the opportunity to have hands on lessons on all three crafts and complete projects to take home.  No supplies or experience needed.  This club will meet in person at the 4-H office.  Youth will be asked to follow our COVID protocols and wear a mask, and we will do our best to social distance.  For more information about this opportunity you can contact Wendy Maynor at wrmaynor@ncsu.edu.  To register please go to our 4-H app under programs or use click this link.

-5 County 4-H Master Volunteer Training.  We are excited to announce that our last 4-H adult volunteer training will take place on October 18.  This will be a virtual meeting and will be different than anything you have done before.  This workshop will be interactive and allow our volunteers to take part leading sessions.  Curiosity piqued?  That's great register now for this fun opportunity on our 4-H app or by clicking this link.

-4-H Volunteer of the Year Nominations are due to the 4-H Office by October 29th.  The nominations will be collected and sent to the outside committee that will decide the winner.  The winner of the Robeson County 4-H Volunteer of the Year will also be the recipient of the Dr. Eddie and Mrs. Brenda Locklear Endowment Award.  Nominations are currently being done through an online form and can be found on the app under programs as well as by clicking this link.
