New "Look" to the Li-Adams Extension Website

The Lincoln-Adams Extension Website is undergoing a transition! So far - most of the pages that have been changed are the Non-4-H pages. As the work progresses, a few page "addresses" will change - so you may need to adjust your "bookmarks." If you encounter links that don't work, please send an e-mail to Karen   robertk @ wsu.edu    ( remove spaces)

4-H Enrollment

1/3/08 Karen Robertson
4-H leader and member lists went out to 4-H Club and Family Group leaders the first week of January. Group leaders should contact Karen with questions or corrections.

Some projects, in some clubs, still do not have an enrolled PROJECT leader. Members who signed up for those projects are NOT enrolled in projects without project leaders. Some members who selected livestock or shooting sports projects were not enrolled in those projects as they are too young for those projects. See State 4-H Policy

To check Member/project enrollment status, contact Karen at robertk @ wsu.edu (remove spaces) or 659-3209.
