Goals give us something to aim for. By setting goals, we give ourselves a target to reach. SMART goals can help us to set things that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. If we evaluate our goals with these things in mind, it will help us accomplish them!

Citizenship Washington Focus - Update
Many of you participated in a survey to identify the date of our next trip. We've got our sights set on June of 2022.
There have been some new guidelines for the trip set forth from the State 4-H Office that will provide 3 or 4 different trip "models" for the group to choose from. We are still anticipating the cost to be $3,000 - $3,500. More details will be shared when they are received. Please contact Kate with any questions!
