4-H Materials

As our new 4-H year begins, we wanted to be sure that ALL families have the following handouts to have a successful 4-H year:

Newcomer’s Handbook -on the 4-H website
Awards and Recognition Handbook -on the 4-H website
Recordbook Information -on the 4-H website
Bexar County Junior Livestock Show Rules -on the 4-H website
Texas 4-H Clover Opportunities Handbook - on the 4-H website.

At the Club Manager training in August, each Club Manager was given a CD with the above materials. Please contact your Club Manager for a copy of the CD or visit our website if you need any of these materials.

When we compile the newsletter articles, we have room for only the basic information. There is no way we could put all the detailed information on each article or the newsletter would be 20 pages long. We want to make the newsletter as informative as possible, but not to lengthy. If you need more information or have any questions on any article, please give our office a call or visit our website.

Clover Handbook is now available, go to texas4-h.tamu.edu/clover to print your copy.
