Dear Lincoln, Logan & McPherson County 4-H Families,
March is here and signs of Spring are starting to appear. As you begin to plan your summer activities, tell a friend what 4-H projects you plan to do this year. Ask a friend what projects they plan to do and get some ideas. Listen to our 4-H podcast to hear about the great things 4-Hers are doing all year. Fair will be here soon. Don't get caught in the last minute project rush. Get started early. One of the many things I love about 4-H is the community. Reach out and ask for support if you want to try something new. We can connect you to someone who has experience in the project area you are interested in. There are many opportunities to share 4-H. Performing Arts contests, SPIN Clubs, summer workshops, etc. are all ways you can be involved and make a new friend in our 4-H community.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,
Miss Caitlyn
