CLUB LEADERS: PLEASE INFORM YOUR NEW PROJECT LEADERS!
Are you new to 4-H? Or a parent who has been around for a while and would like to lead a project in your club? Would you like to be a volunteer?
All of the information that you need is at: http://cesonoma.ucanr.edu/Youth_Development/New_4-H_Leaders/ You may complete the orientation part at your home or make an appointment to come to the office.
Online Enrollment and fee payment is an annual task. The rest of the process (fingerprinting, orientation, quiz, child safety,) is a one-time requirement, as long as you reenroll each year. If you take a year off, you will need to repeat the process.
We look forward to meeting you!!

Club Visits
If I visited your club in the past 2 years, I left a large, blank tri-fold, to be decorated by club members, leaders and parents. It is for your club's promotion. We will keep them in the office and use them at events, meetings and workshops.
If you have not turned in your tri-fold yet, please have it complete to turn in by November CCC meeting. If you have lost yours, a replacement tri fold costs $8.00. We would like them all the same size, so let me know if you need another for $8.00.
Per the County Director, Stephanie Larson, we need to wrap this project up. Clubs that I have already visited that need to turn in your promotion poster, are:
Healdsburg, Lytton Springs, Penngrove, Forestville, Annadel, Wild Oak
Clubs requesting an insurance agreement from the UC must submit a request at this site: facility use form (club, project, county)
Also if there is any additional documentation they must attach it to the request. All information needs to be submitted to process an insurance agreement.
Also, if the facility being used will be the same one being used for the next few years, feel free to submit a request longer than a year.
Thank you!
