CLUB NEWS

JR Leaders Report - Cadence Ursprung-Chiu


On Saturday, October 12th Arapahoe County 4-H Junior Leaders had a booth promoting 4-H at the Trails Park and Recreation District's Annual Touch a Truck Day. There were over 1500 people and we got at least a page and half of names and emails of people interested in joining. A bunch of people took information with them. The day was a great success and should be something 4-H'ers look forward to in the future.

Thank You!

THANK YOU to all the amazing volunteers, 4-H team, Fairgrounds crew, and emcees that helped with our annual achievement program. It is always such a wonderful night to come together and celebrate 4-H members and leaders’ accomplishments. What a crowd we had, very supportive and engaging!. We hope that each year the attendance keeps growing!


If you weren’t able to be in attendance, please check with your organizational leaders to see if they have your award.
