4-H Club Officer & Leadership Training

Do you know what the job is of an officer in your 4-H club? Do you know how to write the minutes? The order of business? When can you write a check and when can you not? Do you feel comfortable being a leader? If you are a club officer or a club member and the answer to any of these is no, you need to attend this workshop. There is no cost to attend. Open to all 4-H members and leaders in Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties. Members do not need to be a club officer to attend.

Training will be Saturday, November 14th from 9 am to Noon in the Warren County Extension Office (1000 North Main Street, Monmouth, IL 61462)

Snacks will be provided at the workshop for participants.
University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact your local extension office. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your access needs.

Don't forget, the Unit's canned food drive ends November 16th. Save yourself a trip to your Extension office, and bring your donated canned goods to the Officer Training School! When dropping off canned goods, just let us know which county you are donating on behalf of!

The Knox County 4-H Federation had a great time participating in Trunk or Treat at Allure of Lake Storey Assisted Living!
Our members passed out bubbles, glow sticks, and information about how to join 4-H while sharing some Halloween fun with the community!
We love getting out into the community, spreading smiles, and sharing all the great things 4-H has to offer.

4-H FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE!

It’s Henderson 4-H vs. Knox 4-H vs. McDonough 4-H vs. Warren 4-H in a friendly competition to help give back to our communities!

From October 1 through November 16, each county will be accepting canned goods at their local Extension Office. All donations will go directly to food pantries in their respective counties before Thanksgiving. We encourage our clubs to work together to donate the most canned goods, spices, and nonperishable items to help their county win the contest!

How will we determine the winner?
To make the competition fair between counties of different sizes, we’ll calculate the total number of canned goods collected per 4-H member in each county. The county with the highest percentage will be crowned the winner!

đź“… Due: November 16
📍 Drop-off: Knox Agri Center

The county with the largest percentage of canned goods collected will be rewarded with Popcorn Party boxes that our members can enjoy at their next club meeting!
Let’s see which county can collect the most and make the biggest impact in their community!

Who’s ready to take the challenge?!

*Hint: This counts as a Unit-Wide Community Service activity.

As part of our National 4-H Week activities, our Knox County 4-H members had the opportunity to participate in a self-led cookie decorating workshop at home!

Our Federation members assembled the kits during our Community Service Drop-In Night, and we had 64 kids sign up to participate in the at home workshop! Members who attended the service night received a kit, and those who couldn't attend had the opportunity to sign up for one.

Each kit included 4 cookies, 4 colors of frosting, 4 piping bags, and a directions page with a QR code linking to the 4-H Cake Decorating Project Manual. Members used the manual to learn and practice four different cookie decorating techniques before putting their creativity to work!

Members were encouraged to send Emma pictures of their finished cookies.
Take a look at these talented 4-H'ers and their cookie decorating skills!
