Navarro County 4-H Newsbreak
August 2011 New Enrollment & Re-enrollment Information:
August 1st starts a whole new year of 4-H!! This is the time when we need to start new and re-enrollment for Navarro County 4-H membership. All 4-H members wanting to participate in ANY 4-H event for the 2011-2012 year will need to complete a green enrollment form.
Green forms will be handed out at your first 4-H club meeting of the year starting in either August or September (some clubs will start in Septem-ber). If you have completed enrollment in the past years on 4-H Connect, you will not be able to do that this year. This year all 4-H enrollment will be in per-son at your club meeting. Youth must be enrolled by October 31st to be con-sidered a bon a fide 4-H member of Navarro County.
New this year for enrollment is the PARTICIPATION FEE. There will be a $20 Participation Fee which has been set by the Texas 4-H & Youth Devel-opment. The fee is set state wide, therefore all 4-H members across the state will pay $20.
