4-H Office Gears Up for New Year...

Club Managers,

If you have not come by the office and picked up the 2008-2009 member and leader enrollment forms please contact me so that arrangements can be made to get them to you. This blog has been set up for you and your club members to use. I will try to monitor this blog at least once a day, so please let your families know this is available. This is a trial run; however, if successful this type of communication will likely replace the office newsletter. If you have any suggestions or comments, please post them or email them to me (wrarnwine@ag.tamu.edu). At the present time, this blog is unrestricted and can be posted to by anyone who views it. If there are any problems or improper use, I will restrict the posting permissions to only those who have submitted their email address on their member or leader enrollment forms. Please feel free to post to this blog any ideas or events that you or your club would like to share, discuss or advertise.
