This group meets every other month at 6 p.m. at the Extension office. Learn more about PALS by reading their Constitution & Bylaws.

4-H Club Fundraisers: The 4-H Agent MUST be notified of any 4-H club fundraisers. Your club is encouraged to fundraise for club expenses.

Donations: It is okay for your club to seek donations. However, please notify the 4-H Agent of this as well (we don’t want our county program and multiple clubs to be seeking donations from the same folks every time).

Receipting money: If your club receives money (donation, club fee, fundraiser money, etc) the money MUST be RECEIPTED and TURNED IN to the Extension office within 3 DAYS of receiving it! If you need a receipt book, please let the 4-H Agent know.

T-Shirts: Please send your t-shirt designs to the 4-H Agent to be approved BEFORE you contact a company to print them. There are rules to using the 4-H Clover that we must abide by.

Resources: If you need resources or assistance, please contact the 4-H Agent!

Enrollment: All of your club members MUST be enrolled in 4-HOnline in order to participate in Rowan County 4-H!

Additional 4-H Participation: Please push your 4-H’ers to do a project record book, achievement plan, 4-H Presentation, or to find a new way to get involved in 4-H!

Newsletter submission: Brief club information and/or a 4-H picture & caption can be submitted for the newsletter. Please send it to me by the 25th of the month prior to the newsletter publishing date (which is typically the 1st of the month).

Community Service: Don’t forget that each 4-H club MUST do at least 1 service project each year! Your club can do their own project or they can participate in the county-wide community service project hosted annually by our County Council.

Remember that as a club leader, you MUST attend 2 volunteer trainings during the calendar year to be able to re-charter your club.

Thank you to 4-H volunteers
