Is your club an Honor Club? Clubs can be recognized as an Honor Club (either Bronze, Silver, or Gold) at the 4-H Fall Achievement Night in November by filling out and turning in the Honor Club Application to the Extension Office. Honor Club status depends on the number of points each club earns based on the involvement of their members in activities that occurred throughout the year. Applications are due September 1st, however, since that is on a Sunday this year and the office is closed on Monday, we will still accept applications through on Tuesday, September 3, 2019. Applications can be dropped off to the office by 4:30pm that day, faxed to 740.670.5317, or scanned in and emailed to either Lisa (mccutcheon.46@osu.edu) or Adrienne (anderson.1410@osu.edu). The application does require the signature of the club’s president, so please allow time to make that connection.
