NEW LEADERS Humboldt 4H welcomes new and thanks old... We are very fortunate in Humboldt County to have some of the BEST volunteer 4H Leaders around! These folks give their time and share their knowledge in order to foster successful youth. This year we are experiencing exciting growth in our Leadership program, while also wishing farewell to a couple of long time volunteers. Tracy Schriber will be stepping down from her leadership role with the Weaver Valley and stepping in will be Cherilyn Krichau. Shelly Gerjets will be steeping in for Lisa Daisy and co leading with Brandy Mayall and Kelly Howard. Niki Ludolph will be taking over the Jr. Clovers and Clover Kids group from Amy Craven, and will continue to be assisted by Kiersten Beilke. Finally, I would like to thanks Amy Rodenberg and Laura Schaffer for their services with Bits and Bridles, and Creative IQ. Please help to welcome and thank them for their hard work and dedication that they have given to 4H or plan to give by taking on this new leadership role. Without quality, caring volunteers this program would not be possible!

4 CLUB INFORMATION Are you looking for a club? Did you know that we have 10 different 4H Clubs and 1 Project Clubs in Humboldt County? While the philosophy of 4H shines through in each club, the experiences offered can differ. Some clubs have primary interests in livestock, while others focus on honing their skills in other project areas such as science, leadership, citizenship, hands on learning, etc. Each club shares a vested interest in learning through doing, and making the best better.
