WHAT'S NEW?
Issue:
September-October 2020
Nationally, 6 million youth touch and enhance
the lives of others throughout the year by
embracing positivity, giving to others, rebuilding
what has been torn down, teaching and inspiring
others to learn.
Clubs and individuals in 4-H can make the
biggest impact by publicizing and promoting 4-H
in their schools and communities. The 1 on 1
contact between 4-Her's and their families is the
best way to add new members and leaders.
Wear green or the 4‑H clover.
Decorate an Opportunity4All sign (included
in this email) and share your pictures and
captions of what opportunity means to you
using the hashtag #Opportunity4All on social
media.
Share these ideas and encourage other 4‑Hprofessionals and 4‑H’ers to participate in
spirit day!
Here are a few fun ways to get your community
involved and spread the joy of 4-H! Show us your
4-H spirit!
4-H members will assist in 4-H promotion inmany ways this Fall. The 4-H Open Houseprovides members the opportunity to "show andtell"various projects. This event is scheduled forOctober 15th, 2020 from 6:00 PM-7:00 PM atthe Gary DeSoto Building.
