4-H County Council

As we begin the month of September, we also

begin a new 4-H year! 4-H re-enrollment will be

on 4hOnline again this year which can be done

at your home or in our office.

To re-enroll, go to the 4hOnline website,

https://ia.4-honline.com and use your email

address and password to login.

This is where 4-H and Clover Kids re-enroll.

If your Clover Kid is now the age to be in 4-

H, make sure to change their club from the

Clover Kid group to the 4-H club.

Be sure to update all health information for the

current time and check all of the appropriate

releases (driving, photo, etc.).

Enrollment will be $20 before November 15

and $30 after that date. The $10 early discount

is due to the sponsorship from the Marshall

ment, call the extension office at

Time to start thinking about new projects for the new year. We have set the weigh-in date for this winter. Beef weigh in on Saturday, December 17th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

We know that we might have some exhibitors that can not make this work due to other activities. If you can not make it on this day you MUST call the Extension Office ahead of time to let them know where you will be going to weigh in your projects and you MUST pick up a packet from them before you go with Marshall Co Beef tags and pa-perwork along with instructions. Also a reminder that someone else can weigh in your calves for you on the day stated above and we can certainly help make that hap-

pen. All the exhibitor needs to do is sign off on a form that is at the extension office giving permission for another person to weigh them in. If you have any questions about the infor-mation stated above please feel free to contact the office or a member of the beef commit-tee.

Also please remember when you are finding your new market animals to weigh in, if they are a registered breed then please get the paperwork going as soon as possible. When you come to weigh in you will need to have the calf tattooed, and we will need to have the tattoo number, sire registration name and sire registration number. So please be prepared with this information.

The Marshall County Rockets officially changed their monthly 4-H meeting to the

last Monday of the month. The meeting place will still be the ISU Extension office

tions, please call Linda at (641) 328-4059.

Thank You to all our volunteers!

One of the greatest aspects about the Marshall County 4-H Program is the many volunteers it takes to provide a quality experience to youth. We are so blessed to have so many volunteers, long and short term, that assist with various projects.

There would not be a Marshall County 4-H Program without the many caring adults willing to help out in times of need. If you are interested in volunteering please,

contact Chelsea or Amy at the Extension Office for more information.

Thank you, Marshall County Extension Staff
