As We Look Ahead to the New 4-H Year As you have all heard by now, we are currently without a 4-H Educator. Kelly is going to be missed by everyone (especially by us at the office) but we understand how important family is and are happy that she is still going to be close by! The OSU Extension is currently going through the necessary steps to hire a new 4-H Educator and we hope to have someone on board no later than the first of the year. In the interim, I will be supporting the 4-H Program and we will continue to keep everything on track and moving forward with the help of Michelle and the 4-H Committee. Please feel free to call in with any questions and concerns. Your ideas and offers of assistance are welcome as well! We are planning to continue with the normal Fall Schedule which includes; Best of 4-H Night, Cookie Dough Sale, the 4-H Benefit Auction and Teen Leaders will continue to meet on a monthly basis. Sandy Smith ANR Educator/ County Director

Honor Member Applications Due
Honor Forms are Due at the Extension Office by the end of the Day on
Monday, August 31st. What is an Honor Member? The status of Honor Member is awarded to those 4-H members who meet certain criteria every year. It is a cumulative process which means that each year you have to add additional points in order to meet the goal set for each year. You will be surprised at how many points you have obtained just by being an active 4-H member. Points are earned by doing things like: completing your projects, going to your 4-H meetings, participating in Community Service and going to 4-H Camp! Why should you become an Honor Member? Becoming an Honor Member will help you as you move forward in your 4-H Career. Having the status of Honor member for a minimum of 5 years is required to be on Outstanding Court. It is taken into account when you apply for scholarships, fair royalty and can even be put on a resume’. Applications are available from:
The Extension office
Your Advisor
Online at www.carroll.osu.edu o Click on 4-H Youth Development o Then 4-H Forms and Documents o Click on Carroll County Honor Member Form
If you are applying for your 5th year or greater – you will need to fill out a 4-H County Award form in addition to the Honor Application. (If you have
filled out the County Award form already this year for Outstanding Court, Scholarships Leadership Camp you do not need to fill one out again. Just let us know at the office.)
