Thank you to all members who completed an Ohio Achievement Form or Junior Achievement Form. Because our program to recognize these members has grown to 40 youth completing the Ohio 4-H Achievement Form and 73 completing the Junior Achievement Form, we have outgrown the facilities where this recognition is held. A great problem to have!

Therefore, we will have two recognition events(Achievement Banquets) this year.

For all Older Youth who completed the Ohio 4-H Achievement Form we will have your recognition night on Tuesday, April 5th, at Shalom United Methodist Church in Carroll, starting at 7:00 p.m.

For all Junior Achievement participants we will have your recognition night on Tuesday, May 3rd, at Shalom United Methodist Church in Carroll, starting at 7:00 p.m.

Look for your invitation in the mail soon and hope to see all you at these events. If questions, please contact the office at 740-652-7260.
