Everybody may be a friend in the same grade or av.wvl, or include people from other communities. Clubs decide how often to meet and elect officers to conduct club busmess. Your club may decide to be active in the community, raise money for chanty, become involved in recycling projects or build nature trails. You can go on field tnps or to 4-H camp. The choices grow as you get older. Does 4-H cost a lot? - There are no state or national dues or a required uniform. You pay $3.50 per year for printed matenals and information and for project matenals. A horse can be expensive, but not a beginning home economics project.

Ask parents, grandparents, adult fnends or neighborhood adults to be your leader. Several adults can share this responsibility. You need only two members, but you can have as many as you like. Determine the projects members want and visit the Extension office or call an agent for help. There are numerous active clubs that welcome new members. 4-H is Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow and "learning by doing" - Learning how to set goals and work toward those goals; responsibility —for an animal, finishing projects.
