Dear 4-H Families and Friends,
It’s that time of year again! This is our last newsletter
before the 4-H re-enrollments are due, so don’t
forget to log on at http://wi.4honline.com to re-
enroll your family soon! Click “Continue to Family,”
click “Edit” next to each re-enrolling member’s name
and then click “Enroll for 2018-2019” at the bottom
of the screen. You will then go through the screens,
update any information that should be changed, and
click “Submit Enrollment.” Members who are not re-
enrolled by November 15 will stop receiving
newsletters and e-mails until they enroll. You are
not considered a member of 4-H unless you are
enrolled in our system.
Families with limited access to computers may
contact the Extension office at 715-346-1320 to set
up a re-enrollment appointment with Lisa or I.
Thank you to all parents, volunteers, and youth for
another successful 4-H year! National 4-H Week is

ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
Adult Volunteer Background Checks
4-H Leaders enrolled in 4-H Online may be due for a background check. These are
conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Extension every four years for youth
protection purposes. Volunteers may be asked to enter an e-mail address on the
Volunteer Screening section of the re-enrollment process. This e-mail address
should be unique to you (i.e. not an account you share with a spouse/family
member). If you are asked to provide this e-mail address, please watch your e-mail
for a message from GIS asking you to complete a background check form. The
process is fully online, but technical assistance or paper options are available at the
UW-Extension office if you need them (the process does require a valid Social
Security Number). Please contact Portage County UW-Extension with any questions.

CASIMER BOOSTERS 4-H CLUB, AUGUST 6, 2018 - CLUB REPORT
We started the meeting with roll-call, secretary’s report, and treasurer’s report. We first talked about the old business which was June dairy days, the Amherst fair, summer camps, and that the Rosholt fair entries were due on August 1st. Our club won the poultry barn award at the Amherst Fair! Everyone did very well at the Amherst fair this year. We then switched to new business which was the Rosholt Fair, and perhaps a small club trip. We considered biking at Bukolt, swimming at Rivers Edge, or going on the Rib Mountain ski lift in fall. We then adjourned the meeting.

Plant Sale Update - $4229.22 profit after two customers received refunds for their calibrachia plants that died. Summer Camps - Record turnout for camps especially the number of young men in attendance. There was a need for more male counselors. Intermediate camp went well. Camper numbers expected to increase next year due to the addition of Wood County. Ideas for how to deal with increased numbers included having 4th graders attend intermediate camp. An additional day has been added to Cloverbud camp. Wednesday camp will be at Iverson Park. Cost will be $4.00. Friday, July 27th, a swimming and pizza party will be held at the YMCA. Cost will be $4.00. If youth do both, cost is $7.00. There is a need for teen chaperones to help from 10 am until 12:30 pm. Connie reported that only a few youth have signed up so far. 22 youth attended last year. Suggestion made to hand out reminder post cards when Cloverbuds bring their projects to the fair. Teen Trip to Mount Olympus: Went well Cake Decorating Workshop – There were 17 youth and 3 teens who attended the workshop. Nancy Lemke was the cake decorating instructor this year. She moved around the room and helped each youth individually. Copps donated the frosting. Kathy reviewed the cake decorating rules from the fairbook and talked about the cake auction. Amherst Fair Food Stand – No teens attended the planning meeting. Candace and Connie met and discussed plans for this year. Saturday and Sunday night, teens need to help close the food stand. There is need for incentive to get teens to help more with food stand. Ideas are welcome.
