A letter from Lexy

Hello 2021! This time of year, I always like to take

time to reflect on the past year. 2020 was a

challenging year, and many things were

different, but one thing I learned is that 4-H’ers

are resilient. They put their best foot forward no

matter what the situation.

As we look to 2021, a new year of hope,

promise and possibilities. We have a brand new

year to make our dreams become a reality. To

make our dreams a reality we need to set goals

that are specific, meet your interest, and provide

an opportunity for learning, measurable and

show progress from previous years. What are

your 4-H goals? Write them down now and start

thinking about the action, the results and time

line for completing your projects to meet your

goals.

Have you checked your v2.4honline

enrollment to see what projects you are signed

up for? I encourage each of you to check your

enrollment and select a new project area to try.
