Dear 4-H Members and Families,

We will be holding club officer training Thursday, August 9th from 5:30-7 p.m. at the County Extension office.  This training is for all new and returning officers who want to spend some time meeting the County Youth Council officers, learning about how to run a meeting, and some of the duties that come along with their positions.  Parents and volunteers are welcome to attend as well.

This meeting originally appeared on the calendar county calendar on Wednesday but has been moved to accommodate more people.  I apologize for any inconvenience these change makes.

Please R.S.V.P. with the https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeyvbmeVSR8V8FfMZxdsoie4dh5zrgMj5R-rltXQp4l_i99Zg/viewform?usp=sf_link.  Thank you and please contact the office if you have any questions.
