Just a reminder for those who have not enrolled in 4-H Online, you will need to log into thenew version https://v2.4honline.com/#/user/sign The old version is still open but will not let you log in.
I want to thank all the returning 4-H Volunteers and parents that persevered and enrolled bythe deadline date. This in itself, has been quite the undertaking with the new version, and Iappreciate all of you for being patient with the transition. With that being said, remember,that if you are holding meetings and you have returning members that are not enrolled and fees paid, you can be liable for these individuals. Please make sure your members haveenrolled in the new system and paid their dues.
With the new program, once a member has submitted and/or been approved, they will no longer be able to add additional clubs and/or projects. If there is a member or volunteer that needs to be edited, plese email me with this request.
As always, if you have any questions or need guidance, please don’thesitate to contact me at or 208-878-9461.rdavids@uidaho.edu
