Welcome 4-Hers!
For all the returning 4-H members, welcome back! And for all of the new 4-H members, welcome to the 4-H family! We are ready to kick off the 2023-2024 4-H year with many things planned for you. The summer has gone by so fast and now it is time to start laying out the year with new accomplishments for you to conquer! I hope you were able to take advantage of August as you prepare to head or have already headed back to school. Make sure to read through the newsletter to get a recap of everything that happened over summer and a few new things that will be happening this year.
