Farm Forward Workshops | April 23rd-30th
Join us for a week of agricultural education & family fun during the first annual Lee County "Ag Week" 2022. Register for one of these or check out the other "Farm Forward" opportunities today!
Public Speaking Program Kick Off
Do you have a child ages 5-18 (as of January 1) that you would like to get engaged in extracurricular activities? Do you feel that public speaking skills are important for your child to have? Does your child have a special talent that they would love to share? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then 4-H has just the activity planned! This is an event where youth ages 5-18 (as of January 1) compete in 4-H presentations and youth ages 8-18 can compete in 4-H Talent. We will have three rooms with two or three judges in each room ready to provide constructive feedback enabling your child to polish the program and take it to the district competition in June if they so choose.

It is Safer Indoors

April Project Record Books
This week the outdoor temperature has ranged from the 50s to the 70s as is typical in North Carolina in March. If you are like me, those warmer days turn my mind to the garden and when I may be able to plant outdoors. However, the Farmer’s Almanac predicts the last frost to occur before April 23rd but don’t despair! Gather the family and let’s get growing anyway.
Continue working on Project Record Books – What is Community Service? Brainstorm possible opportunities. Make a plan with your club to do a group community service project. Record these in your project record book or journal.
 
 
Registration Form for the 2022 Summer Program | DEADLINE TO APPLY APRIL 25
 
Additional Enrollment Information:
There are two ways to participate as a 4-H'er in North Carolina. You can be an enrolled member or you can be a program participant. The state has guide sheets for information about 4-H online.

Take a minute and edit your account to include all the topics in which your child is interested. Often community groups will contact me with a special interest mentoring offer. Right now the Lemon Springs ECA club wants to offer their skills to club members who may want to learn about web design, sewing, biscuit making, ect. When these opportunties present themselves I will search the members for folks who might be interested and contact you.
