As we start a new 4-H year . . .
Dear 4-H Members, Families and Advisors:
Welcome to a new year! The Fulton County 4-H Handbook and current and past newsletters are posted on our county website at: http://fulton.osu.edu. Click on 4-H Youth Development under Program Areas. Each year some of the project requirements change due to rules or state fair changes. The Fulton County 4-H Handbook has competition rules and guidelines for projects, as well as the 2017 4-H calendar of events and opportunities. Read the rules, the calendar and the section for your project. I would also like to say thank you to our 4-H volunteers who give so graciously of their time and talents. We wouldn’t have such a great program without you. As always, my door is open for questions and comments to improve our Fulton County 4-H Program. Sincerely,
Jill Stechschulte Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development Maumee Valley EERA
