We know it seems like it's a little early to start planning for January but 2023 is coming fast and we have some neat and new things out there. Everything listed below is also on your 4-H App under programs. We hope 4-H Online will be available to register for 2023 the beginning of January. Please keep your eyes peeled for an email from us.

What: Project Record and Portfolio Virtual Help Session
Where: Virtual Via Zoom
When: January 4, 4-5 pm
Why: Project record Books are a staple of 4-H work. Any project you have done you can complete a project record and after three years of working on a specific project, like animal science or public speaking, you are eligible to complete a portfolio. You can win money for both on the county and district sides. It's worth your time and helps with record keeping in the future.
