Getting Organized
Pick up an Organizational Packet at the Extension Office.
Set your 4-H club meeting dates at the beginning of the year.
Keep all 4-H information organized in a notebook or three-ring binder.

Planning the Club Year   
Review the 4-H Calendar of Dates for the dates and deadlines that apply to your club.

Schedule your meetings to help 4-H members meet these deadlines.  For example, 4-H project enrollments are due on April 1, so plan to hold a club meeting in late March for members to finalize project choices.

Getting it all Done
Include members and parents in coordinating projects and committees.  Ask for help! Parents will often help when asked; sometimes they just don't know what to do to help you.

Use an agenda at every meeting.  Write the agenda on poster-board or dry-erase board or make a copy for each member.

Here is a checklist to help you keep organized.

Volunteers are truly a gift to be treasured!
