– 2013 Nebraska 4-H Month — Join the Revolution of Responsibility
Each year, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln 4-H Program observes two special time frames that provide an opportunity to share the 4-H message with those in our communities. National 4-H Week is held during the first full week of October, and Nebraska 4-H Month is held during the entire month of February. Celebrations of one or both of these time frames can be customized specifically to your county; this may include the planning of educational events, special celebrations, letters to the editor, newspaper articles or supplements, signing of a proclamation or resolution by local dignitaries, community services events, etc. If you have ideas on celebrating Nebraska 4-H Month, please let me know asap so I can plan. If an idea comes to you that we don’t have enough time to implement, please let me know anyway and I will put it in the idea file for next year. I welcome ideas at any time of the year! Enrollment forms will be going out and it is a good time to visit with your friends, family, neighbors and classmates about joining 4-H. If you need any promotional materials, please let me know.
– 4-H ‘FUN’draiser – The annual 4-H Fundraiser is being planned as an event similar to last year to be held on Sunday, April 7 at the Alliance High Commons. Planning will begin soon. If you would be willing to serve on this committee, please contact me right away so I can notify you of meeting dates. We had a great time last year and the funds raised allowed the 4-H program to continue to offer scholarships for camp, affordable programs, host an achievement celebrations and more things for the benefit of our 4-H members.
