What does my child's 4-H club expect from me?Colorado 4-H is a family organization, not a babysitting service! Families are expected to participate along with their members. Here are some things to keep in mind when your family participates in the 4-H club experience. --Help your child attend club meetings, activities and events. Notify the club's main leader if your child can't attend a meeting/activity. --Help with the club and/or county fundraising events and pay your child's county activity fee and/or club dues. --Transport your child to all club meetings and activities. --Attend special events planned by the 4-H club. --Encourage and guide your child's project work. Don't do their work. --Read the 4-H newsletter, mailings, Project Display Requirements, Fair Book and other information with your child. Use the Colorado 4-H website to print off forms, find project and fair requirements and find answers to questions. Or simply ask your club leader! --Encourage your child to participate in club/county project clinics/workshops, 4-H camp(s), public speaking opportunities, Fair events, and much more. --Encourage your child to keep up-to-date records and to successfully complete their 4-H projects. --Model a positive attitude, good sportsmanship, respect and cooperation. --Assist with 4-H club activities in your areas of interest and expertise...teach a project skill, help with a community service project, plan a field trip, assist with fundraising, etc. --Help out the club... host a meeting, provide refreshments and sponsor an award. --Support the club by cooperating with club leaders and exhibit a positive attitude towards your child's personal and club 4-H goals. 10/13/08 Date: 10/10/08
