**Please Note- Countywide Projects
The CA 4-H office has asked that we no longer use “Countywide Projects” as a club title. This means that all countywide projects will be listed under the project leader’s primary club instead and titled in such a way that it indicates it is a project open to all members in the county. For
example, Brenda Gilardone’s Countywide Horse Mastership project will be listed under the club “Los Amigos” and will be entitled “Equine - Horse: SB COUNTY HORSE MASTERSHIP.”
Santa Barbara County 4-H - Countywide ProjectsTo enroll in these projects, simply log onto 4honline to register.
