If codes are not entered into the state program they will not be counted on the State ES237. Please contact me at 970.491.7879 or gail.mckee@colostate.edu if you have questions. Thank you. - Gail McKee

Grapevine Talk

Some of you may have heard through the grapevine that the State 4-H office has been looking into the 4-H Plus! enrollment system. Here's the scoop. I arranged for a 4-H Plus! demonstration with Chuck Nash that was presented to the Extension IT staff, along with the Blue Ribbon support team, support staff from two county Extension offices, and myself. The outcome of the demonstration is that the group felt the differences in the 4-H Plus! enrollment system, along with the challenges of changing the fair management systems in various counties, did not warrant the pain and expense of a change in enrollment systems at this time.

We gave it an objective look and made the best decision we could for our statewide 4-H program. - Jeff Goodwin

Minority Scholarships Available

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarship use to minorities, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest.

Help to get the word out that money is available! - Jan Carroll
