4-H Enrollment for 2019-2020 Enrollment begins September 15th! You can access the online system at: iowa.4honline.com.
The MOST important thing to remember is that all returning members have a profile set-up, you just need
to log in to it. You need to type your e-mail address (if you don’t remember what address you used, contact
the CEO) and type your password from last year, or select "I forgot my password." If you have any ques-
tions, please contact Katie. If you do not have computer access please contact the CEO and we can make
arrangements. The re-enrollment deadline is November 1st, 2019.
County 4-H Awards All Jackson County 4-H’ers are eligible to receive county awards. 4-H’ers in grades 4-6 are eligible for the
Junior Record Keeping Award, Outstanding First Year Member, and Junior Merit. Intermediate and Senior
4-H’ers may receive Merit awards, submitted by club leaders.
County Project Awards 4-H’ers in grades 7-12 may apply for County Project awards. Applications are available at the CEO or on
the Jackson County webpage and need to have support material attached to the application.
Deadline for submitting county project award is September 16 to the Extension Office.
What’s a County Project Award? County Project Awards are another way for 4-H’ers to be recognized for the hard work they put
in to certain project areas. In the application 4-H’ers more closely describe the skills they learn through their 4-H experience and why it’s important
to them. In the support material they can include other artifacts, newspaper articles, pictures, ribbons, etc. to help support their application. Appli-
cations are posted on our website. Project evaluation is similar to that used for the state project awards: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/files/
page/files/application_project_2018_july_re.pdf. Awards are announced and given at the Recognition Banquet.
Krista Grant Community Service Award A Jackson County 4-H club may apply for the Community Service Award each fall by completing the nomi-
nation form about the club's citizenship activity (activities) for the 4-H year that is just finishing. The form is
due to the Jackson County Extension Office by September 16. We prefer this form be completed by the
Youth Leader of the project(s). Application is posted on our website at https://www.extension.iastate.edu/
jackson/4h.
Club Officer Books and Record Books Club officer books are due to the CEO by September 16th. These include the Treasurer, Secretary, and
Historian books. It is mandatory for all club’s Treasurer books to be turned in for audit. Member’s record
books are due to the club leaders so check with them for a due date. Record book forms are available at
the CEO and are also posted on our website at www.extension.iastate.edu/jackson/4h.

Photography Frenzy has been created for those who are interested in the photography area. It’s a series of monthly challenges; a time for you to practice your photography skills and get feedback from professional photographers. The pro-gram is shaped after the 4-H Camera Corps – a program the state has run for the past couple years.
Each month a photography challenge will be sent, along with some photography tips and tricks, to try along with it. 4-H’ers have 2 weeks to complete and submit their photos, then they will be posted online for the public to vote and our judges to look at. Sounds like fun, right!?
September’s Challenge: School’s Here! Showcase your school pride. What makes your school unique?
Tips: look for the interesting details where two different parts meet, play with repeating elements that draw
us in, take advantage of bold colors and patterns to make your photo stand out
Submissions should be posted here: ht tps://forms.gle/5CMUWT7NJo3wJu2v9 by September 15th.
