Kindergarteners through third
graders can join 4-H Clover-
bud clubs. 4-H Cloverbuds
is an informal educational
program designed specifically
for children in grades K-3.
The program appeals to young
children’s natural curiosity, en
thusiasm for learning, and high
energy levels by providing an
opportunity for active learning
in a non-competitive environ
ment. In Morrow County, we
have about 175 members in
grades four through 12.
What you can do in
4-H? - Members can be en
rolled in animal science, natu
ral science, home economics,
and expressive arts project ar
eas. If you can think of it - we
will try to make it happen!
What do you do in
4-H? - It depends on you. 4-H
members may be friends in
the same grade or school, or
may include people from other
communities. Clubs decide

The Port of Morrow - Good For Business
Clean water, economical power, easy transportation,
advanced communications, modern docks and lots of
room to grow - the Port of Morrow offers all the benefits
of large metro centers without the challenges industry
can face in bigger areas.
Located on the Columbia River near Boardman,
Oregon, the Port of Morrow has all the industrial
infrastructure needed to grow your business. The Port
of Morrow encompasses more than 12,000 acres of land
that is ideal for a variety of industries.

officers to conduct club busi
ness. Your club may decide
to be active in the community,
raise money for charity, be
come involved in recycling
projects or build nature trails.
You can go on field trips or to
4-H camp. The choices grow
as you get older.
Does 4-H cost a lot?
- There are no national dues or
required uniform. The state
requires a $15 per member
enrollment fee, $30 family
maximum, which goes to help
county 4-H programs such as
lowering costs of state publica
tions. There is an additional $5
per member county enrollment
fee that goes towards project
materials and insurance in
most clubs. Your 4-H club may
decide to collect dues to fund
special activities.
How do you join
4-H? - It’s easy. Choose the
project you like. Ask some
friends or brothers and sisters
to join you. Ask parents,
grandparents, adult friends,
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
your club would like to enroll
in and visit the Extension of
fice or call an agent for help.
There are also numerous ac
tive clubs that welcome new
members.
4-H is Le a r n i n g
Today, Leading Tomorrow
and “Learning by Doing.”
- Learning how to set goals
and work toward those goals;
responsibility --for an animal,
finishing projects, choosing
how much to learn and decid
ing how involved in 4-H to be;
leadership, decision-making,
cooperation and how to present
yourself and ideas to others.
