New 4-H Enrollment

There has been a little confusion in the county regarding new 4-H members enrolling in 4-H.  We certainly encourage them to enroll as soon as possible, but we will still be accepting brand new 4-H enrollments up until May, 1, 2010.  We would like to encourage clubs to continue to recruit new members and expand their membership. 

E-data Service Disruption
