Welcome to the 2009-2010 4-H Year!

Welcome to the 2009-2010 4-H year!! I am really looking forward to the upcoming year. We have several new 4-H clubs getting started up. All of them should provide young people in the area even more opportunities to learn new hands on skills. As always, I am always looking for caring adults who want to share their skills and passion of learning with young people. Please contact me if you are interested. Below you will see a flyer that details the special interest clubs that are offered in the region. Please ask me about them! They are all very unique and itching for more members!! There is also information concerning the Northeast Alabama 4-H Regional Council. Come and join us for any and all of the meetings of this group!
