4-H Top 4 for the week of October 11, 2021

 


Happy Monday Everyone!  It might be cloudy but things in the world of 4-H are spectacularly bright today.  Want to take a quick moment to thank our 4-H Animal Science participants for making this past week so wonderful.  You can read all about it on our blog.  Also want to give a quick shoutout to our 4-H Families the Canady's, Norton's, and Underwood's.  Each completed our 4-H Scavenger Hunt for National 4-H Week.  We still have our virtual hunt on the app for those of you who would like to play.

On to the Top 4

-We have a new SPIN Club starting this week.  The Hooks and Needles 4-H club will meet 4 times-October 13, 14, 20, 21 from 6:30pm-8 pm IN PERSON at our office.  No materials, or experience necessary.  Youth will learn to crochet, knit, and loom knit.  They should have time to complete projects as part of this club meeting time and will get hooks and needles to keep and continue this adventure at home.  To register for the club all you have to do is be an active member in 4-H online and you can register on our app.  Just go to programs, and scroll to the registration button.  We have several volunteers looking forward to working with them on these projects.  For more information about the club please contact Wendy Maynor at wrmaynor@ncsu.edu.

-4-H Volunteer of the year nomination forms are due October 29.  This is an online submission form.  Please note that 4-H Staff can not nominate deserving volunteers.  However families, 4-H members, 4-H Volunteers, and even members of the public can nominate deserving 4-H volunteers for this award.   You can find the link to the form on our app (under programs) or you can click here to nominate a deserving volunteer (please note if you do not know their contact information or years of service we can fill that in for you)...Please consider nominating one of our amazing volunteers today.  Nominations will be sent to an outside committee and the selection will remain sealed until our 4-H Appreciation Night on December 10.

- November 15 will be our mandatory 4-H Club Leaders Meeting.  This will be our club leaders opportunity to get ready to start off next year on the right foot and give us a chance to get everyone ready for 4-H Online.  Things are always changing in the world of clubs and this will give you a chance to get updated and ready to roll for 2022!  We will offer this as a hybrid meeting (at our office for in person/via zoom for the virtual aspect) starting at 6 pm.  Please register in advance by clicking on this link or you can register on the app.
