Whew! COVID has been a tough season for us as individuals, families, and clubs. We are grateful for thepositive and tenacious attitudes embraced during this time, and we’re excited for the constructive solutionswe’ve seen emerge. Going forward, those positive aspects will make us more resilient, and keeping us frombeing complacent with our work. The tough and hard lessons we all experienced hopefully have causeddeeper introspection and thoughtful dialogue, encouraging the shedding of negative habits which had runtheir course. At the end of the day, I’m confident we have learned more than any other group, becausethat’s what we in 4-H do….learn by doing, and then we turn around with those lessons and make the bestbetter!
As of right now, all 4-H programming will continue virtually. If a meeting is needed where two (2) or morepeople will be gathered, a plan must be submitted to CSU. We are seeing almost 100% approval rates onour plans. If you would like to hold a meeting or event, contact Charity or Emily at least two weeks prior toyour event. Extension agents are human! So, if you submitted an email request regarding a plan and havenot heard back in 24 hours, please reach back out! We want to make sure to keep the process runningsmoothly and do not want any requests to fall through. These guidelines will remain in place until August31, 2020. We will reevaluate after State Fair. In the meantime, we will adapt with any new guidancecoming out from CSU.
We are looking forward to ending our year on an encouraging note. While our end of year may not lookthe same, our resilient attitudes can remain steady. Thank you for being the best part of 4-H and allowingus to walk this learning journey alongside of you all.
