In December 2014 the SOHO Furniture Finders held their first 4-H Club meeting. The new club serves as an excellent reminder that the diversity of 4-H Programs can serve any students needs. The new club is a part of a local home school group. In their first meeting the 4-H members made a chicken coop and the Cloverbuds learned the 4-H pledge and began selecting project books.
The breadth of 4-H Programs address a variety of needs. As the students become more familiar with the 4-H program they will begin to select projects that they may share at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair.
For more information about this and other 4-H clubs see the information below.
We are excited that the SOHO Furniture Finders are a part of our OSU Extension, Hamilton County Family.

Finding a 4-H Club for your Family
1. Look for a club that meets in an area near you.
2. Select a club that meets during times which work with your family’s schedule.
3. Find a club that accepts members within your child’s age range.
Cloverbuds: Must be at least age 5 and in Kindergarten as of Jan. 1st. Project Members: Must be at least age 8 and in 3rd grade as of Jan. 1st.
4. Contact the advisor for more detailed club information. Ask about: participation/attendance requirements, club dues and fundraising, meeting schedule, location, club size, and any other questions you may have.
5. Ask what kind of involvement or participation the club expects from parents.
6. Set up a visit to a club meeting or jump right in. Have fun and enjoy your 4-H Club experience!
Can’t Find the Club for You? If you can’t find a club that will work with your family’s needs, maybe you should consider starting a club of your own.
