Club Chartering

As we move into to fall, we end one 4-H year to begin another. With that comes annual planning and officer transitions as well as enrollment. Also, each club must complete their annual charter documents. Your clubs’ Key Leaders should have received their charter documents and can contact Kelly or Kim with any questions.
