Thank you for your service as a 4-H Volunteer Club Leader. Complete these tasks to become or remain an official 4-H Club. For the yearly rechartering, please complete each step by January 15. Clubs that do not complete the steps by the deadline will be placed on probation and may not meet until all steps are completed.
This is a list of the paperwork due to the Lee County office by January 15 each year to remain 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 confirm your enrollment, please 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 contact Lee County 4-H at 919-775-5624 or email Pam Kerley at pkerley@ncsu.edu.

Club By-Laws
The 4-H Club by-laws document is required annually. Use the generic bylaws version as a starting point and adapt it.
Club of the Year Application
Complete this at the end of the year. The club with the most "yes" answers will be Club of the Year. Only activities from January 1 through December 31 count. A club may win Club of the Year more than once. The Club of the Year will receive $100 for its club treasury, and its name will go on a plaque displayed at the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Lee County Center. If there is a tie, each club will receive $50. If reviewers question an answer, the club leader must provide documentation. For example, if you say you added new members to your club and the 4-H agent has not received 4-H enrollment for new members, there is reason to question it.
