Dear 4-H Managers and Volunteers,
Happy New 4-H Year 2022-2023! To start the year off right, I wanted to make sure everyone was up to date on some important points:
Here is the link to register on 4-H Online: https://v2.4honline.com/#/user/sign-in
The activity reports have been updated for the year. This year we will have a Club Activity Report that can be used for club and group activities. You should still use sign in sheets at meetings to capture attendance. The form has been streamlined to make it easier to report your totals from group events. We will also have an Individual Activity Report that both members and adults can use to report 4-H activities. I encourage adult and youth volunteers to log project preparation or club management time in the individual report. These reports can also be found in the 2022/23 folder which is on the Links & Forms page of our website.
I encourage managers and volunteers to report as much activity that they can. Please share these forms with your clubs as well. The more information we capture about our program, the better we can represent our program to stake holders. And please remember, that every club is required to make at least one report of club activity every month.
Please remind your families to register in 4-H Online as soon as possible so that they can stay on top of broadcast email from the County. And please remind them to register for any and all projects that they would like to receive information for. Members do not have to participate in the projects that they register for in 4-H Online, just have an interest in them so that we can get them the right information to meet their needs.
If you or one of your families is not receiving broadcast emails from the county, here are some steps to take to try and fix the problem:
- Check and make sure that your family profile and personal profiles in 4-H Online have the proper email address.
- Check that your family profile allows you to accept broadcast emails. To check family settings click Edit Family next to the family name above the member list. And then click on the Family Settings
- Some email servers tend to filter out the broadcast emails from 4-H Online. Servers that are particularly bad for doing this are att.net, swbell.net, sbcglobal.net, and other telecommunication servers. Members with these servers have found it helpful to delete their email in 4-H Online, save, close their 4-H Online account, reopen their account, and renter their email. Others have gone through the process of opening a Gmail or other free email account and having that account forward all email to their preferred account.
Our next County Youth Council meeting is September 26, 2022, at 6:30p-7:30p, also there will be an ALA at the same time.
Thank you,
