PLEASE READ THE CALENDAR

There have been a few phone calls asking permission to enter various competitions after the entry deadlines have passed. Please note that all entry deadlines were published in the 4-H Calendar. Late entries cause complications and confusion not to mention if allowed they undermine the very purpose of the deadline itself.

Therefore the deadlines have to stand firm. In the past late entries have been permitted....However, from this point forward there will be no late entries of any kind for 4-H county events.

In circumstances that affect the entire county( ice storm, tornado, etc...) the deadlines may be postponed by the project leader, committee, or county agent overseeing the event.

The real value of 4-H....

may not be realized until later in life. But when given the opportunity to think about it, the successes of some can be traced back directly to their roots in 4-H. Follow the attached link to view a wonderful testimonial about the value of the 4-H Program from Bob Tallman, a very well known rodeo announcer and successful rough stock contractor.

PARENTS ------Scholarship Training Opportunities

Over the past few years, many of you have had questions about the scholarship opportunities that 4-H Has to offer. Though I have done my best to explain these scholarships no one has yet to apply for any from Cherokee County. Those of you who might be graduating from High School in the next couple of years have an excellent opportunity to attend a training on how to apply for these scholarships sponsored through the District 5 Office in Overton. The attached flier has more information about this opportunity. The training is open to all managers, parents, 4-Hers, etc...

Please select the fliers to see a larger view.

This is the work schedule that was voted on and approved by those who attended the November Parent and Adult Leaders Meeting. Each club will be expected to provide adults and youth to work during their assigned time slots.

For more information please see your Club Manager.
