Thank you for your service as a 4-H Volunteer Club Leader. The following should be completed to wrap up our 2023 year and begin our 2024 year. To become or remain an official 4-H Club, complete each step by January 15. Clubs not completing by the deadline will be placed on probation until all steps are completed. 

This is a list of the paperwork due to the Lee County office by January 15 each year to continue to be a club in good standing. You must also re-enroll in 4HO once the system reopens in January. (4HO will close mid to late December for a system rollover) I will notify you by email when that has happened. Once you have confirmed your enrollment, you will encourage your members to confirm theirs. Please check the system roster before meetings to ensure all participants are officially enrolled in 4HO.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Lee County 4-H at 919-775-5624 or email Pam Kerley: pkerley@ncsu.edu.

Club of the Year Application

To be completed at the end of the year. The club with the most “yes” answers will be the club of the year. Only activities from January 1 through December 31 can be counted. A club may win club of the year more than once. The club of the year will receive $100 for their club treasury, and their name will go on a plaque displayed at North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Lee County Center. If a tie occurs, each club will receive $50. If there is a question raised about an answer, the club leader will have to provide documentation. For example: if you say that you added new members to your club and the 4-H agent has not received enrollment cards for new members, then there is a reason to question.
