Our Senior 4-H’ers (9th – 12th graders) are invited to attend FALL FORUM, which is a statewide weekend conference just for high school 4-H’ers held at Rock Eagle December 13 – 14 (Saturday & Sunday). Our State 4-H Board of Directors have planned a fun event that includes workshops along with opportunities for community service and recreation including our district assembly, a huge dance, and a performance by Georgia 4-H’s very own Clovers & Company! They chose a “Home Alone” inspired theme for the weekend – “You Are Never Alone in Your 4-H Home!”.

The registration fee is $95.00 (which includes Saturday lunch and dinner, lodging, and Sunday breakfast) and is due by Friday, December 5. If your 4-H’er would like to attend, please send Mrs. Kasey an email at kcreid@uga.edu before 12:00 PM on Wednesday, November 26, and she can get him/her registered online. She will send you an email confirming that your 4-H’er has been registered.
