This means that you can then start re-enrolling for the 2015-2016 4-H year. We need EVERYONE TO RE-VIEW THEIR PROFILE information. When you re-enroll in 4-H for the new year, please check the name of your school and make sure that it is completely SPELLED OUT. Do not use abbreviations or other short names. The school list is used by your county Extension office for eligibility purposes and if you are in the incorrect school, or don't have the complete name listed; it could be your fault for not being declared eligible to participate in am contest. (Example: do not list your school as "GHS" because your county may have more than one!). The annual participation fee per youth member will re-main $20 if you enroll from August 15 to October 31st or $25 (after October 31st).
