Meetings starting for 2020-2021 4-H Year

All 4-H Clubs in Paulding County will be starting to hold their 4-H meetings for the new year within the next month.  If you have not heard information from your advisors, please check in with them to be sure you do not miss your meetings.

In order to have our in-person 4-H meetings to start the year, we have some policies that are in place.  These include everyone wearing masks (not an option), no more than 50 people in attendance at a meeting, no refreshments that are shared within the club, and ZOOM will be an option for any family that does not feel comfortable participating in-person.  If the Paulding County Health Department determines that in-person gatherings need to be limited, Paulding County turns red on the state COVID-19 map, or Ohio State University limits in-person programming, we will return to ZOOM for our meetings.

I know that wearing masks is a controversial issue in Paulding County.  It is up to us to do our part to continue to be in-person for meetings.  The end of the 4-H Pledge states “for my club, my community, my country, and my world”.  If masks are able to keep one person safe from COVID, we should be doing it.  If you have questions about wearing masks, the policy that we are required to follow, or our protocols for in-person 4-H meetings, please contact Michael to discuss further.
