Hello Door County 4-H Families and Volunteers! 

Happy March!  I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather and the glimpse of Spring that will arrive soon!  This newsletter has a lot of information on events that are coming up and State 4-H opportunities.  Be sure to check it all out!  

If you are new to Door County 4-H - welcome, we are so happy you are here!  This email newsletter is one of the main ways that I share information with Door County 4-H families, but you will also receive emails from 4HOnline occasionally with information.  If you have questions about 4-H, please be sure to reach out!

Door County Daily News reached out with a fun opportunity for Door and Kewaunee County 4-H members! 

They air the pledge on 104.1 WRLU (sponsored by Rio Creek Feed Mill) during the 6 a.m. hour every day. If any of our members are interested - they are looking for members to recite and record the pledge that can be aired during those times. The script is below:

Hi, I'm FIRST NAME from the _________________4-H Club in Door County. 

I pledge Allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

Anyone that is interested can record it and email it to Tim Kowols, Door County Daily News at kowols@doorcountydailynews.com, and then it will be rotated through the week on 104.1 WRLU.
