Welcome New Families

New families will not receive a copy of the 4-H newsletter, so consider sharing a copy, forwarding the email copy, or directing them to where they can find them on the county website. It might be helpful to schedule a time to meet and look over the newsletter together. Being a new family can be very overwhelming and they may not even know what questions to ask. Going over the newsletter together is one way to help them feel more comfortable. They can ask questions as you go about upcoming events. Every one of us has the opportunity to provide new families with information, support, and a welcoming environment. 
*If you need copies of the 2023-2024 enrollment guides the office can print off copies. 
New families will start receiving new family newsletters at the end of September and will be added to the electronic newsletters as soon as possible after being approved in 4-H online.
