Clinton County 4-H - Parent Information

Parent Information

Dear 4-H Family,

On behalf of the Clinton County 4-H Council, Leaders & 4-H members, I would like to welcome your family to the Clinton County 4-H Program! 4-H is an exciting, interesting and rewarding experience for your children!

To make the 4-H experience the best that it can be - your help is needed. Parents and family members of 4-H members play a major role in the learning and growth experiences that children have in 4-H. Your interest and support of 4-H programming will help the 4-H member gain new skills, learn to work with others, and have a tremendous 4-H career. We know that the more a child puts into 4-H, the more he or she will get from it.

4-H is a family affair! 4-H needs your help and assistance, and you have an opportunity to grow right along with your 4-H member. Please read the information on this website and ask questions so you can find out more about 4-H and how to support your 4-H member as they "Make the Best Better" through this program.

If there is ever any way I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to call, email, or stop by the Extension Office. I can be reached by phone at 765-659-6380 or 765-296-3511 or by e-mail at lhuebing@purdue.edu. Our office is located at 1111 S. Jackson St in Frankfort and office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.

Sincerely,

Laura A. Huebinger
