Renewing members and clubs are expected to re-enroll between October 1 and December 31 each year.<\/p>\n New members may enroll at any time. However, both new and re-enrolling members must be enrolled by December 31 to participate in events and activities such as, but not limited to, state-wide market animal auctions, Eastern States Exposition competitions, National 4-H Congress, National \u00a04-H Conference, and to be eligible for 4-H post-secondary scholarships.<\/p>\n Waldo County 4-H Club Poster Template for Information Meetings (click to go to request form)<\/a><\/p>\n 4-H Club Informational Meetings happen annually. All 4-H clubs are required to post flyers in community public places announcing these meetings for families to visit and learn about local 4-H opportunities and club programs. Parents\/guardians must attend club information meetings with their children or teens. Holding 4-H Club Informational Meetings helps to ensure that Extension staff and volunteers are meeting Civil Rights obligations through public outreach and making programs accessible to all.<\/p>\n The 2019 4-H Recognition Night is a time to recognize the hard work of our 4-H volunteers and members during the 2018-2019 4-H year. Please invite your family and friends to join Waldo County 4-H at the Waldo Community Center for a potluck, game night, and awards ceremony.<\/p>\n The Waldo County 4-H Leaders\u2019 Association will be presenting the first annual Waldo County 4-H Achievement Award. We invite all 4-H members and their families to come out and enjoy the evening. All 4-H youth who submitted project records will be recognized.<\/p>\n If you are a person with a disability and need an accommodation to participate in this program, please contact Sadee Mehuren at 207.342.5971 x1020 or sadee.mehuren@maine.edu to discuss your needs.<\/p>\n Saturday, November 16, 4:30-7:30 pm<\/p>\n Waldo Community Center<\/p>\n The Waldo County 4-H Leaders\u2019 Association is currently accepting scholarship (financial assistance) applications for Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) and National 4-H Congress and Conference Trips. To request an application, please contact the UMaine Extension Waldo County office or visit our county web site 4-H forms page at extension.umaine.edu\/waldo\/4h\/forms\/<\/a>. The dates for the trip will be determined soon. Maine 4-H delegates typically participate in this program over the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n UMaine Extension offices gauge office closures in accordance with the nearest University Campus. Office closures happen when inclement weather or non-weather-related issues come up and may require the office to close. The Waldo County Extension typically follows UMaine Frederick Hutchinson Center for inclement weather purposes.<\/p>\n Please note there are times when an office may have to close even though the respective University Campus is in session and or not in session. The best practice is to call your local county Extension office to see if the office is open for business or if a program has been cancelled or rescheduled.<\/p>\n If you need help with 4-H forms, please contact your county extension 4-H staff. Waldo County 4-H staff would be happy to assist you in completing forms associated with project records, club planning and reporting, and event\/fair preparation. If you have any questions regarding 4-H forms feel free to contact the Waldo County Cooperative Extension office at any time.<\/p>\n The Born to Ride 4-H horse club finished up their 2019 show season by participating in Eastern States and Clinton Fair.
