4-H Friday News Blast
November 10, 2017
Enroll for 2018 4-H
Note for this week: Be sure to hit "submit" on the last page, so the enrollment will go through! Thanks!
And a note for leaders and volunteers: when enrolling, watch for the field that states the # of years you've helped in 4-H. I know for a fact that some of the leaders' years are not correct because the information did not get transferred over when we went to 4HOnline enrollment. Please double check. Thanks!
If you have any questions, please call the Extension office at 402-267-2205.
