Purdue Extension Weekly Update

We are trying for a new look and hoping for more reach! We are sending a Purdue Extension Newsletter that will not only encompass 4-H Youth Development but Health and Human Sciences (HHS) and Ag and Natural Resources (ANR)! Let's get Marshall County Extension noticed!

What to expect? There will be a section for each program area so we can better share what we are doing! A 4-H Volunteer? Maybe you want to attend ServSafe!

We have attached the quick guide on how to re-enroll as a 4-H member if you have forgotten. Don't forget that enrollment began on October 1st and ends on January 15th! Please try to encourage your friends to join as well. If you need any help with the enrollment process, feel free to email Lindsay at lstaples@purdue.edu. 4HOnline Help Sheet
