NATIONAL 4-H WEEK: THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU!

NATIONAL 4-H WEEK: THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU!

By Hill Country Muskrats 4-H Club Members
    Beyond Ready is the theme for National 4-H Week being held Oct. 6-12.  4-H helps young people develop skills they will need to be ready for the future.  There are many opportunities for competition, learning, having fun, and giving back to our communities through 4-H.  No matter where you live or what you are interested in, 4-H has a place for you!      Besides creating projects for the county and State Fair, 4-Hers learn about how to present ideas and lead a meeting, develop public speaking skills, practice problem-solving and teamwork, and volunteer to help those in need in our communities through service projects.  
    We invite you to check out 4-H! The new 4-H year is just beginning, so if you’re interested in learning more about or joining a club, reach out to the Marshall Co. Extension Office at (605)448-5171 or [email protected] and they will point you towards a club that is in your area and a good fit for you.  Happy 4-H Week!

Do you support creating regional ambulance service systems with state oversight and potential state funding?
