Although the month of October is typically awash in the color orange and decorated with pumpkins, Oklahoma 4-H’ers celebrate with four-leaf clovers and the color green.
The first full week of October is National 4-H Week. This year’s theme is Beyond Ready!
For more than a century, 4-H has continued to adapt and thrive in diverse environments, using many delivery methods, and offering ever-changing project areas which spark a youth’s growth and passion. Caring adult volunteers provide a safe environment, giving members a voice, choice and hope in their future. Having hope and a sense of meaningful purpose in life is an important part of our positive youth development effort. As a result, members thrive with a greater sense of belonging, independence, generosity and mastery.
On September 30th, Washita County 4-H members gathered at the courthouse to meet with the county commissioners for the signing of the National 4-H Proclamation. There were 35 attendees.
