Officer Training - Saturday, Dec 2All 4-H club officers elected for the 2023-2024 4-H year are invited and encouraged to participate in the annual club officer training. It will be held on Saturday, December 2. Check-in will be from 9:30-10:00. Workshop is scheduled 10 am - 12 pm at Extension Fond du Lac County. A free pizza lunch will follow the workshop!
Participants will learn the responsibilities of their officer positions, so all officers should attend.
