Emily Tipton PRICE INCREASE FOR HONOR CLUB PINS We have depleted our Honor Club pins and have a new supply on order. As with everything else, they are quite a bit more expense compared to the last ones we ordered. The price of Honor Club pins will increase from $5.25 to $6.00. Beginning this month, invoices will reflect the new price.

The training is limited to 60 people. Extension agents, 4-H program assistants or a 4-H volunteer leader from your county are invited to attend the training. This training will provide each attendee with a teachers guide and a classroom set of student workbooks to use when implementing the program. This curriculum will be an integral part of the 4-H Civic Engagement action agenda. Participants will receive the Life Skills indicators which can be used for evaluation of the program.
