Fall Forum
The Georgia 4-H Board of Directors are planning a fun-filled weekend for Fall Forum, “4-H: Where the Light Is.” The weekend (December 8-9) includes a mix of workshops and educational sessions along with opportunities for community service and exhibits. Registration for Fall Forum is open to any current 9th-12th grade 4-H members in the 2018-2019 school term. This event provides many opportunities for project work, competition, networking, and training for youth and adults.
Early bird registration fee of $82 is due by Wednesday, November 7. Regular registration is $87 and is due by Tuesday, November 20. The registration fee covers Saturday lunch, dinner, and lodging, as well as Sunday breakfast. Pizzas can be ordered Saturday morning or at lunch and are $12 each.
There will be a Fall Forum 4K race on Sunday morning. The registration fee for the race is $12 and includes a Clover Glove race t-shirt.
4-H members can apply to teach a workshop or lead a community service project at Fall Forum. The application information is available from the 4-H office. Application deadline is 5 PM on Wednesday, November 14. Students may also apply to enter an exhibit in the Exhibit Fair. This would be a great way to add to your DPA Portfolio’s Helping and Sharing section. Application for the exhibit fair is due by 5 PM on Wednesday, November 28.
You are also asked to contribute canned foods to the “4‑H Cans Hunger” service project. Be sure to turn in your canned foods to the 4-H office before December 1.
