📖 Important Club Information

We also want to make sure everyone starts the year on the same page! Our club bylaws are an important part of how our club operates. Please take some time to read through them, especially the meeting and volunteer requirements.

We’ll share the bylaws link here and will also provide everyone with a copy at our September meeting.

👕 Calling All Creative 4-H’ers!

We’re having a 4-H Club T-Shirt Design Contest! 🎨👚

Have your kiddos put their creativity to work and come up with some fun ideas for this year’s club shirt! They can draw their design ideas and bring them to the September meeting.

The kids will get to share their ideas, vote on their favorite design, and then we’ll work with our shirt designer to turn the winning idea into an official Country Kickers 4-H shirt! 🤩

We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

September 16th • 6:00 PM • AJ Multi Gen Center Room B118

🐴 Let’s make this a GREAT 4-H year! 🐴

As always, please reach out if you have any questions. We’re excited to have you all along for the ride!
