Dear Lincoln, Logan & McPherson County 4-H Families,

Happy Nebraska 4-H Month! We hope you celebrate in some way and share what you are doing to celebrate with us. Here are some suggestions:

• Get enrolled or re-enrolled by February 29th on 4honline.
• Give back- do some community service with your 4-H friends (volunteer at our local humane society, make a quilt or blanket for the homeless shelter, provide baked goods for the local senior center). There are so many options!
• Thank a 4-H volunteer or other 4-H supporter.
• Come to the 4-H open house on February 17th at the Lincoln County fairgrounds.

We are so glad you are all a part of our 4-H community. Let's have a great year and "Make the Best Better!"

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,

Miss Caitlyn
