Hey all and happy Thursday!

Okay, we are back from the 2 weeks of District 10 4-H contests and we wanted to pass on a few reminders for some important deadlines that are coming up pretty quickly.  These include all of the awards, leadership, and scholarship applications in addition to validation tag orders.  We'll also be sending out some separate emails for the Texas 4-H Roundup registration information, as well as the upcoming District 10 Leadership Lab information!

We are also excited to announce that we are able to transition back to in-person programming for this summer (YAY!!!).  We are meeting with our Ambassador, Council, and Club Manager groups over the next couple of weeks to work on some fun summer activities and ideas to help rejuvinate our program after some big challenges this past year.  With that, we'll get started!!
