WHAT’S INSIDE:

2

4-H is about more than ribbons and

awards. It’s about the people, the experi-

ences, the lifelong skills, the memories,

the County Fair. It’s about being a role

model, giving back, and making the best

better! 4-H is a journey of exploring through any and all of your passions and interests. Whether you’re interested in

building a wood bench or training your pet, 4-H has just the opportunity for you. I challenge you to reflect on your past

4-H experience and how it has impacted you and those around you. Now, as we start our new 4-H year, begin to think

about how you can challenge yourself through your experiences. Need some ideas of how to be a role model, give

back to your community, or to make the best better? Talk to your club leader or contact Morgan to create a plan for the

new 4-H year. Opportunities await, you can make a lasting impact! With 4-H Spirit, Morgan Bjerke

Are you new to 4-H and unsure of what 4-H has to offer you? You can join a 4-H club when you enter 4th grade. 4-H is

open to youth up to 12th grade. As a 4-H member you have many opportunities to participate in different activities. Like

building rockets, designing clothes, leaning about computers, helping your community, and making new friends. You name it, you can do it through 4-H.

To get started, contact Morgan at the Allamakee County Extension Office to find a club that fits your interests.

Morgan can be reached at mlheim@iastate.edu or 563-568-6345.

Attention New Members: Please save the date to attend New Member Night on Tuesday, November 14!

LEARN MORE ABOUT 4-H

RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS National 4-H Week will be here soon, October 1-7. But you do not have to wait until October to start recruiting new

members! What is your club going to do to recruit new members? Here are a few ideas for you and your club to help

promote 4-H and recruit new members:

Wear 4-H apparel to school

Display 4-H yard signs at ever club meeting and club event (they can be purchased for $10 at the Extension Office)

Put up posters, exhibits, or other displays in libraries, schools, store fronts (ask permission first and please let the Extension Office know.)

Decorate your home or a business with sidewalk chalk art.

Be a spokesperson! Ask if you can do an announcement or presentation at school or during a school event. Talk to your friends about 4-H opportunities.

If you refer a friend to Allamakee 4-H and they join by October 23, you will receive 1 Clover Buck to be redeemed at the Clover Store on November 5. Have your friend tell Extension Staff who referred them to earn your clover buck.

Interested youth and parents can stop into the Extension Office for enrollment papers and for more information!

Extension Staff are challenging all clubs to recruit new members to the Allamakee County 4-H Program! The club with

the most new members by October 23 will each receive 1 clover buck per 4-H member! Start recruiting today!

Some examples of items you can purchase at the Clover Store on November 5:

RECORD BOOK WORKSHOP

RECORD BOOK SUGGESTED ORDER & TIPS

Waukon. Morgan will assist you in getting your record book ready for your leader to review. Please bring your record

book, photos, information about your projects. Please RSVP to Morgan at mlheim@iastate.edu by September 11.

ord book but cannot make this workshop, please reach out to your club leader, older members, or Morgan to set-up a

CLUB OFFICER AWARDS

The 4-H Youth Development Committee encourages ALL 4-H’ers to complete a record book. The record

book forms are available online at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/allamakee/page/4-h-forms.

Remember Record Books should reflect the past 4-H Year, 2016-2017.

Suggested Order for All Members:

1) Title Page with photo

2) Expected Standards

3) 4-H Club Program (Optional)

4) 4-H Yearly Summary. May include newspaper clippings and photos from current year. This is where you can compile a 4-H yearly story. Keep ribbons in a different book.

5) 4-H Projects Tabbed. Project records, project worksheets, related clippings, and photos. Do not include goal sheets. Keep the current year project work on the top of all records.

General Tips

1) Be neat

2) Check math, spelling and grammar

3) Use blue or black ink if you prefer to write it instead of typing. (Younger members may use pencil)

4) Keep your thoughts clear and to the point. Say everything you want to say in a concise manner.

5) It is not necessary to write a Project Record for each exhibit. For example, if you brought three photog-raphy exhibits to the fair, it is best to condense all the information from those three exhibits onto one Pro-ject Record Form.

Ribbons

Award Certificates
