Just a reminder that record books are due in the 4-H office by tomorrow by 5pm!

If you have questions you can always call the 4-H office at 520-836-5221

Why is it important you keep a record of your 4-H activities? Because, by recording your activities you can remember all the fun you’ve had so far, and set future goals!

The 4-H program has a long history of record keeping. The focus reflects the importance of this life skill in our daily lives. In 4-H, young people have tracked their activities, events, profits and losses, skill development and learning experiences, and much more using the iconic 4-H Record Book.

In addition to record keeping, the 4-H Record Book gives members an opportunity to reflect on their year, measure their achievements and growth, and set goals, and develop plans to meet those goals.

Don't miss out on turning in your record books!  Awards are given to 4-H members who turn in their books!  PLEASE use the online fill-able forms.

DEADLINE:  Friday, July 1, 2016
