Adult & Youth Re-enrollment Forms On The Way...

Enrollment cannot be accepted until all signatures, information and payment are received. Also, new this year, ALL ADULT VOLUNTEERS must be enrolled or re-enrolled by December 1, 2009. The Glenn County 4-H Council deadline for enrollment is the last Monday in September. This means you must be enrolled in a 4-H club by Monday, September 28, 2009, if you wish to participate in the 2010 Glenn County Fair as a 4-H member.

Next Glenn Co. 4-H Council Meeting
The next Council Meeting will be MONDAY, August 17, 2009, 7:00 p.m. at the 4-H Office. All leaders and members (6th grade and above) are voting members. We encourage all to attend and take an active part in the decision-making process conducted at these meetings. All clubs should be represented! Key Leaders, the 4-H Office needs the names of your representative that will be attending the council meetings, so they can be mailed a copy of the agenda. If you have any agenda items you would like included, please notify the 4-H Office by August 3, 2009. Make a Difference Day is the nation’s largest day of doing good. Americans are asked to devote the fourth Saturday of October (October 24, 2009) to helping others. It is a day where organizations (such as 4-H) join together to clean up their communities, mentor children, repair parks or community facilities, help the elderly and touch many lives. This would be a good time for any of our local 4-H Clubs to do a community service.
Make a Difference Day
New Leader Orientation Dates Set
Monday, September 21, 2009, and Monday, October 19, 2009, are the dates for the leader orientation meetings. Each meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. in the 4-H Office. Please contact the 4-H Office if you have any questions. I have sincerely enjoyed the past two and a half years working with the members and leaders of a program that has been incredibly rewarding to me, personally and professionally. I will be moving on to the teaching credential program at California State University, Chico, and doing my student teaching at Red Bluff High School. I will no longer be able to devote the time and energy this position requires and deserves. My last day will be July 29. I appreciate you and the opportunities I have had while working for Glenn County 4-H and the University of California. Best of luck to all of you as you start the new 4-H and school years! Also, my best wishes to the new 4-H Program Assistant Jamie Marron. I’m sure she will be great!
