Happy New Year!!

Welcome to 2021! It HAS to be a better year, right? I sincerely hope everyone had a peaceful holiday season, filled with good food, warm fires, and a sense of love and belonging. I saw some touching instances, even in my own family, of reaching out to those that had a particularly rough year. Please do the same as we could all use a smile, friendly gesture, and an open heart.

We have some great things happening this month in our awesome 4-H District. Please keep an eye on the District calendar for updates and information on everything listed here.
  • Thursday 1/6 is a busy day: 
    • 3:00 Alaska Teen Media Institute; meeting every Thursday in January (see flyer below) Contact Kendra for more information and zoom link: klcalhoun@alaska.edu
    • 6:30 VLA meeting for our district (all active leaders welcomed): Zoom ID: 945 296 187 
    • 7:00 MatSu Livestock Committee meeting: Zoom ID: 945 296 187 (same as VLA, so might as well just stay on the line, right?)
    • 7:00 AVLO Statewide meeting: all active leaders welcomed (agenda, budget, and associated documents are attached to the District calendar entry): 
      Phone 1-312-626-6799
      ZOOM ID: 82046413744
      Passcode: 611300
  • Monday 1/11: Advocacy & Empathy 4-H Event, see the flyer below. All ages welcomed.
  • Tuesday 1/12: Financial Literacy for the young ones: target age = 7-11 years old; Learn about saving, borrowing, and building credit (trust). See the District calendar for the Zoom video link information.
  • Tuesday 1/26: Financial Literacy for older kids: target age = 12-18; Learn about taxes and who benefits and what to do with your summer income. See the District calendar for the Zoom video link information.​

Some clubs are meeting in-person, and I appreciate all the safety training they have gone through to keep our kiddos safe and engaged. If you are interested in in-person meetings, please reach out to me and we can get the process moving. Alternately, if you want to meet via video conference (yes, I know we are all sick to death of them, but we need to hang in there for a bit longer), please let me know and I can get you set up for that.

I have had some requests to join clubs from new parents/kiddos. If you are meeting and are willing to take on a new 4-Her or two, please let me know.

If you haven't sent me your Club Annual Financial Statement from last 4-H year yet, please do. Also, if you have approved Mitigation Plans and are meeting in-person, remember that I need to have a copy of your screened questionnaire within 24 hours of each club meeting. Scan and email or text me a photo of it. 

Have a great rest of your week!
