FOCUS WORKSHOPS
FEBRUARY 28TH, 2009 – North Star Building on Creighton Road. We have a great program planned for the day and hope you will join us for these fun workshops. 4-H members and the general public are invited to attend with hopes of some 4-H “focus” groups forming after these initial programs. Does your child have a love for any of these? Sign them up and see what the future can bring. 4-H members can join a “Focus 4-H Group” and also remain in their current club. This event is not to be confused with a Leader Forum, this is intended for youth. Adults may attend with their child and assist them but adults will only be allowed to do projects themselves if there is space in the workshop. Call the 4-H office to pre-register 483-7403 or submit your registration online.
