Upcoming news, events and opportunities
August
August 18 - Roseau County 4-H Leader Council (5:15 p.m.) at the Roseau County boardroom. Agenda will include Election of officers for the 2024-25 4-H Year and 4-H year reflection!
We invite all youth grade 9+ interested in a 4-H leadership opportunity to attend the meeting in person. Be prepared to share who you are, what you like about 4-H and why you want an officer position. The positions open include President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. This is a great opportunity to grow your leadership and give your voice to the 4-H program! The commitment for the year includes a minimum of 6 and no more than 9 meetings (usually every other month) for 1.5-2 hours in length. Treasurers' time is a bit more as they attend the meetings and take care of monthly bills and balancing finances each month for a total of approximately 1-2 hours per month on average. Reminder, each club gets 2 votes (1 youth and 1 adult) and should be represented at every meeting.
We highly encourage everyone to be in person, but if not, you may Join Zoom Meeting. Zoom link was emailed to families in August tidbits.
