4-H is open to youth in grades 1-13 (one year out of high school). Generally you can join any time of the year although it is best to join in the fall because that is when 4-H clubs are reorganizing. If you have news that you would like to have posted to the 4-H website feel free to sign up for an account and submit your news. As soon as it is approved then your news item or calendar item will be added to the website. Not hard to do at all. Questions? Call Jason at 760-9600 or email the webmasters (webmaster AT stcroixcounty4-h.org). Also for you geeks out there feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed from the site. | A Snapshot of 4-H Projects! |
