You are encouraged to find ways to celebrate October 6 – 12. Use the hashtag #inspiredby4H and #inspiredtoLEAD as you share your 4-H activities on social media. Watch our Fa-cebook page for contests all week long.

Achievement Dinner will be a potluck. The main course will be provided. Families are asked bring a

side dish or dessert to share that will serve 8-10 people.

To help assure we have a wide variety of items, we ask that families whose last name starts with:

A-K-dessert

L-P-potato dish

O-Z-salad or vegetable dish

4-H awards for the year will be announced, along with recognition of youth who received champi-

on awards at the 4-H animal shows in the summer.

*** The 4-H Achievement Program is a special night to honor Clinton County 4-H members. There will

be no activities for small children. Please limit youth attendance to 4-H members.***
