January - 2012
Dear 4-H’ers and families,
Hello to everyone and welcome to another year of 4-H! I can hardly believe it is that time of year again. Our first meeting will be on Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 7:00 pm in the Showalter Room in the ECCC Building at the fairgrounds, with registration beginning at 6:45 pm. Watch your local television stations for cancellation if the weather is bad, also check your email or the website. If you know of anyone interested in the Dairy Feeder Calf project bring them along to the meeting or have them call a leader. Mike @ 596-1040, Brian & Jean @ 294-6036, Trent @ 642-2663, Ken @ 533-0726, Erica @ 361-9051, or Becky H. @ 260-350-8471. Anyone in the 3rd grade is eligible to join 4-H.
The program for the evening, “What is ethical and what is not”, will be given by the leaders. They will also be discussing and answering any questions on the new enrollment process.
The 2012 Elkhart County online enrollment is officially up and running. As you may have read in the September Ensemble (our county 4-H newsletter), our enrollment process has changed and you no longer have to fill out paper enrollment forms. To access the website go to www.elkhartcounty4h.org. Click on the left tab ENROLL IN 4-H. You will be directed to a page that is entitled, Enroll in Elkhart County 4-H. Read the directions on this page and then scroll down and click on the “ENROLL IN 4-H” button. A $15 non-refundable State Program Fee per child is due at the time of enrollment with a maximum of $45 per family for 3 or more children. There is no fee for Exploring 4-H youth. Enrollment and payment of fees are due by April 15, 2012. Please call the Purdue Extension Office (574-533-0554) if you have any questions. ***NOTE: The $15 non-refundable State Program Fee per child does not take the place of regular club dues that the DFC Club collects.
Again this year, we are going to be collecting money just once. Dues are $10.00/member which consists of $6.00 to help cover club expenses and $4.00 that covers the auction fees. The deadline to pay these dues is the February meeting, after the deadline we will tack on $1.00 per month that it is late. You will not be able to draw your auction number at the May weigh-in until you pay your dues. So please come prepared and take care of this ASAP.
2012 Manuals will be available on the website. We will only be providing manuals for those families that do not have access to the internet. We will be using the website to post important information throughout the year, such as newsletters, the essay question, and contact information. It will also serve as a good tool to look up club information. Please take note of the email address, so when you receive mail from it, you won’t junk it! You will be receiving your future newsletters by email. So if you have not given us your updated email address, please do so!!
