4-H: Family Handbook, Leader Resources

Monroe County has modified the Project Meeting Attendance Form.  The two changes: "Signature of Leader(s)" and changing Case County to Cass County.

Clubs may wish to alter the due date for the form at the top.  Forms are required to credit leaders for recognition of their volunteer year with the extension office and are needed by club secretaries to do their books.  A member is not credited with completing a project unless this form exists for each project and indicates they completed the project.

Lancaster Co. Nebraska does a few things differently than Monroe Co. Missouri but this video will give new members a nice idea of what table setting is all about.
