We're in the peak season of enrollments, new volunteers, new members, and gearing up for 4-H 2022-23! With our STEP classes underway, club meetings reconvening, and our New Volunteer Orientation coming up on Nov. 1, there's nary a dull moment here at the extension center!

Keep working on getting re-enrolled or making sure your club members get re-enrolled and continue spreading the word about your club, about Interstate Exchange, about STEP Classes, and about all of the other great work 4-H is doing!

Quick enrollment tip: If you make a mistake matching the project to their club, you need to delete the project and try again! Also, don't edit your years in a project because it should automatically advance!

Since we're doing the newsletter on the 2nd and 4th Mondays, there will be a three-week period until the next one. During that time, Lena will be out of the office for most of this week and Steven will be out for Nov 3-13.

Cheers,

Lena and Steven
