End of the Year Review

The first year of the Indiana University Collegiate 4-H has come and gone! We've been named the North Central Region Collegiate 4-H New Club of the Year, the National Collegiate 4-H Organization's New Club of the Year, and an Indiana University Student Organization Award of Merit for Civic Engagement.

Throughout the year our 20 club members have had 13 meetings, 12 service projects, 7 visits to the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington, had club members attend a Regional and National Collegiate 4-H Conference, sent members to county and statewide 4-H volunteer training and leadership development workshops, and attended various county Jr. Leaders and local 4-H club meetings. In our spring semester we provided 4 leadership trainings for 4-H members of varying ages, held two successful fundraisers, and begin planning for our fall semester. We look forward to attracting new members and being able to conduct more and larger programs! In Fall 2007, the club looks forward to growing, attending the Regional Collegiate 4-H Conference at Purdue University, and possibly holding a 4-H host weekend at IU!
